The Why and the Music

So, when I really think about it, it's fairly simple to come up with the reason for my art making. I am what is called a 'High Creative'. This means I most love to make beauty by solving problems. We HC's are solution finders and what's more satisfying than to take an idea from imagination to a sublime and elegant resolution... in my case, to make an image sing?

I spent years designing apparel for companies, and traveling internationally for a corporate paycheck, but throughout those years of obfuscation, I had a secret life as an artist. Finally, the time came to let the secret out, and with a whole lot of training, and fabulous mentorships, I have come to a peaceful place for making images that sing. It's work (what isn't?) but it's my calling.

My Blog Rough Sketch is back! 

It's great to return to that mentality of sharing extended thoughts and inspirations through my writing. I can be a bit wordy, (so my friends tell me) I sort of enjoy that whole means of expression, so let's go! Check it out. This week I write about how music underpins so much of my work, starting with my newest series : Skylark.  based on the song by Johnny Mercer and Hoagie Carmichael and created with a selection of vintage wallpaper fragments and other archival media. Hope you enjoy it! Please leave a comment.
