I am a huge supporter of art teachers and will often give a portion of my art sales to fund projects that they're working on with their classes. They sometimes have a cart instead of a classroom and yet they still manage to teach a class. So often kids' creativity is squashed and art teachers work in these very restrictive ways. Additionally, I've connected with art teachers and have admired the impact that they have on children. I purchase their art and spend time talking to them about how they can make a living as an artist. I will give them space in my studio to show their art. To do this, I mentor young artists and encourage them to pursue their dreams. It is important to me that I also support other artists. So, it changes based on what my focus is at the time but all of my art is purposeful.Īrt teachers are so important because they can inspire students to pursue their art because art gives an outlet for creativity and expression.

If I'm working on a series of portraits of women in my community, I want to honor their strength, love, pain, tenacity and power. Through the birds I wanted to portray the serenity and beauty of nature. If I'm doing a series on birds, like I did last winter, it was my way of staying connected to nature. That changes depending on what I'm working on. My art is about giving myself a place in the world to express and share myself. When we don't create anything, we don't have expression in the world. I think that creating is connected to grounding us and keeping us human and I think when we consume things it can destroy us in small ways. If I don't do it for long periods of time I feel the difference in my energy. Originally, I started painting to relax and now it really feeds me. Also, it allows me to bring beauty to the world.
It's something that inspires me, feeds my spiritual self and gives me an opportunity to express who I am and how I see the world. Wow! It's important because it's actually for me. Almost everything! (Jewelry, Note Cards, Painting, Drawing, Sewing, Collage)
