I take it for granted that I’m able to create with my hands. Then I’m reminded that it’s a gift and that feels pretty damn good. How can I honor that gift? By staying true to my art? What does that even mean? It’s taken me years to even develop what could possibly be construed as a “style”. So, I guess for me honoring the gift or art is to do what feels right. To see if I can push what I do. To try new ideas, but not so much as to lose sight of my path. And possibly to share what I can while finding teachers who can help me expand and grow in life and in art. We stay love.
