Do you know that feeling when everything clicks, when what you're doing is working, you're happy and in the zone? I'm addicted to finding that feeling when I'm creating artwork.
I have been painting/drawing since I was a child. I can remember very clearly the elation I felt when creating this dragon in 5th grade. It was the feeling of imagining the dragon and having the creation live up to the imagination. I think of it as hitting the sweet spot. I have been trying to recreate that feeling ever since.
I started painting again after many years of following other dreams; studying art history and spending a semester in Rome, designing websites, studying graphic design, working as graphic designer, and becoming a mother of two energetic human beings. When I started painting again, it became all I could think about! I started dreaming about painting and I felt a pull to find that sweet spot again; where what I'm creating can match my imagination. It's hard to get there but it's so worth the struggle.
I hope you will follow along as I post about the struggles, the successes, and the things I find inspiring.
