Even when things are not going our way while painting we still have that feeling of belonging. Thanks for your comment. @Debora Stewart, Interesting that you mentioned “you are centered when creating art”….how true for all of us.

My art is my life. They are one and the same. I'm at my essence when being creative. I'm at my most spiritual(most times) when I'm creating. Creativity is a life force that I need. In times past when I've not been acting on this force I am unhappy, stressed, have bad dreams and not centered at all. Art is life. Create art and live! My art is my life. They are one and the same.

I, without a doubt, fall into the category of art and creativity being a life force for me. I make art because I can't NOT make art. When something keeps me from creating, I am not a nice person to be around. I also find, the more creative I am in the studio, the more it spills out into other aspect of my life. It clearly isn't something only focused on my painting. I like to think of it as living in a web where everything impacts everything else.

Creating is life truly life itself. I went to your site and love your work. “Going Nowhere reminds me of a Andrew Wyeth painting and “The Air that I breath” is a scene from my childhood. Great Work !!!, Roberta….thanks for the comment…I couldn’t agree more. Creating is life truly life itself.

I have been creating, whether through art or craft, in some form or another since I was a toddler. It is as much a part of me as life itself, and I just couldn't imagine not creating.
