All Blogs Start Somewhere

Even though I've been pursuing artistic endeavors for most of my life, I'm very new at putting my art out into the public, except for my greeting cards that I've sold for about six years now. And so I thought it would be fun to chronicle my journey so people can watch me as my art evolves into something unique and special. Right now, I have so many different styles and things I like, I just can't seem to settle in on one thing. And even when I do seem to reach something I am comfortable with, then I venture out into something else. To me, that's the joy of art. It's not doing the same thing over and over, but rather it's a reflection of my reaching into new areas, some may be successful, some of them may flop. But the joy is in the journey, as God leads me. Most of all, I want my art to be real, a true reflection of what I'm going through in my life. For though my life has been very frustrating at times, depressing, and troubling, it has always been filled with hope for a bright future. I am an optimist for the most part. I like to look at the bright side of things. But then again, sometimes I have to fight to keep that optimism, because at times it seems like my whole life is falling apart. But then I am reminded by the Holy Spirit that God is still in control, and that everything will work out in the end.
