Create: Don't avoid getting to know yourself

Inspired Magazine article by Marisa Anne

Here is  the gist of the 7 page article:
If you want to Express who you truly are, you must Know who you truly are.

Questions and Contemplation
Ideally, we all want to get to the place where welcome each and every opportunity to evolve and change, because that's what's life-giving and what inspires our creativity.

The Deep Well: Discovering something new, pursuing new experiences, life's journey, evolving with each breathe.

Ask Yourself Some Questions

What are you working on when you lose all sense of time?

What are you doing when you feel your best?

When was the last time you felt great about yourself? What were you doing?

What kinds of creative projects are you working on when you feel most fulfilled?

What did you most love to do as a child?

Anne writes, "if you're engaged in your creative life, you'll always be able to hear your voice calling you forward, no matter how you grow and evolve the essence of you will always shine through.  In fact, you can't get away from your  creative spirit once you find it. And you won't want to, remaining connected to the core of who you are is what will sustain a long and creative life."


In response to this article, here are some pieces that I created.

"Streets of Paris" mixed media, acrylic, stucco, wax paste, image transfer, 8"x10"

"Promises" mixed media, acrylic, cold wax, paper ephemera, image transfer, 8"x10"

"Flowers" mixed media, acrylic, cold wax, paper, gel medium, bronze gild, 16"x20"
This piece has a lot of dimension.
