the real or perceived value of silence.
Sometimes I get sick of hearing myself talking. Especially when the person that wants to know what’s on my mind…doesn’t really plan to do anything with the intel. It takes a lot for me to work up the energy to tell people when something is really bothering me. Part of the delay is me evaluating things in my own head. Are my feelings justified? Am I being fair? Have I considered...

lessons from a show...
I’m still cutting my teeth at the show/fair event element of showing my work. I’ve only just developed a comfort level with putting my work in the gallery at the studio where I rent space.

Dream vs. Do
If there’s no daily and quantifiable action nestled in between the life you want to be living and the life you’re currently in…then you’re not doing. You’re dreaming.
