This beautiful morning, unlike any other, it has bonked me on the head that I have been searching for my real artist voice that has been deeply buried within in me, for a long time. I have spent the last 3 years working on techniques and skills as a painter but have drifted away from my original home base of thought. I am coming back home again to figure out new ways to bridge my artist beginnings in photography with painting, sprinkled with installation work but all conceptually and narrative based.
Like an actor who risks being type cast, I walked away from being a successful fine art photographer and did not take a photo for five years because I was ready to do something new and use new methods. Now, I want to use photos in my painting and installation work and will come up with new ideas on how I can merge them. It is exciting and inspiring and of course scary but all risk involves walking beyond the fear.
I am trusting my instincts. I am going with that in all areas of my life now and you know what? It works awesomely. It is so wonderful to be surrounded by a group of positive and supportive artist and models who have also become friends.I am so chomping at the bit for college to be over in a month. This is the time to start something new.
