Find YOU


 

Featured image: Her Gypsy Spirit 

To find you - you need to dig deeply. Do you know who you are? Not the reflection in the mirror, not what others say you are. 

Your uniqueness, your choices, experience. The path to self is narrow. The journey is hard. It takes a long time. 

You are worth it. Find yourself. Honor your - self, spirit and soul. Honor the gypsy in you.

My work, Her Gypsy Spirit, along with many others will be featured during my solo exhibition, Allegories from the Earth.

Exhibition Details:
Venue: New Visions Gallery
Address: Marshfield Clinic Marshfield, Marshfield, WI
Dates: January 14 - March 15, 2024

Feeling Connected to Everything

 



Featured image: We Are Connected


Being an artist, Creating pretty much 

Comes down To: Everything should

Change during the Process

And, you should feel that Everything is 

Connected

If you don’t feel That as an artist when you are

Creating then you 

aren’t in the work. And the work isn’t yours 

But someone else’s.
