Sarah’s Creative Journey

It has been quite a long time. So long that I have been thinking more and writing less, so my thoughts are more scattered and less organized.  But somehow I was able to organize this into a much more simplified thought about one (mostly) topic. Moving to a new city (finally!) with less familiarity, in a new job, surrounded by completely new things, I have learned a lot. Balancing life and art is a daily struggle (Or even just balancing life and somehow trying to fit art in). Yes, I have a BFA and yes, I consider myself an artist.  But what can I do to push myself to be better and continue in an art direction when I can't get a full time job that is creative or art related-or even something I actually want  to do more importantly?  Am I not working hard enough?  Do I not know the right people? Maybe yes and maybe no (but really it's both). Side note: I think one "problem" is because I am a "multipotentialite".  Watch this  Tedx talk  for a...

Another great article by Muddy Colors blog! Sometimes I feel I concentrate more on personal projects rather than the ones at hand... but still very important to come back to for sure when projects start to pile up!  Definitely a way to relax and have fun, and even give inspiration for more creations!

If you ever wonder the basis and beginning for a creative life... Not my own written answer, but a concise answer written by another artist.  One of the very few I keep up with on a daily basis.  I love his art and his passion so much, and this is just one example of it. 

Muddy Colors does it again..

Muddy Colors does it again. I knew it before, but this is what I'm facing with my American Pie piece. Now on to the next step...

First, sorry to any that may have made it out to Spring Valley looking for me.  Decided to skip out because of the rain.  Second, even though I missed the show, I have been busy this week -not with art- but with observing, thinking, and exploring.  Splitting my time between Columbus and Dayton, I have had a lot of time to think, and see, and feel the breeze blowing through my hair.   I am fully prepared to start up again on these huge projects I have going on.  Huge, but also insanely fun, and maybe a bit overwhelming at times.  Will do my best to keep you posted until my show August 9th!  A lot of new stuff to come!

So many things have been going on (as always)!  I would like to say I have been working hard on my current (and huge) are project I have decided to start and finish in the past 3 months, but I haven't.  I have been busy living life and taking on new adventures.  I have spent time with friends and family.  I have been job searching, apartment hunting, wedding planning, and trip planning.   Sound like procrastination?  It is.  But I wouldn't have it any other way.  The good news is, I still plan to have one, if not all, of the project mostly completed to be able to bring and view for June 20th.  I know you have all been awaiting some new artwork from me since March.   The even better news is, if you can't make it June 20th to this awesome art and music festival, then come see my new pieces August 9th at Art on the Commons in Kettering! (More information will follow closer to date).  The place  can be found here.  Hav...
