In Celebration of the Life of an Artisan
In addition to the well wishes, I would also like to contribute the above message. I heard this recently, and had a jolt (one of those "aha" moments Oprah talks about).
In my frenetic life as a working artist, I suddenly realized how easy it became for me to forget the wonderful blessing I received.
Being up against the commercialization of today's society is not easy. We, as artisans, need to hold fast to why we approach the blank surface in the first place: to create, to express, to share a vision unique to each of us.
The beauty of the creative life lies in the ABILITY to create.
My wish for myself, and all of you, is that we make each and every day a true celebration of this wonderful privilege.
Peace, and joy.
