Post Workshop Blues and the re-Emergence of new ideas.

Well I survived another workshop and was so glad I went, Shikha was so wonderful and an excellent workshop leader! Her solo show looks amazing in the gallery. It took a couple days for it to settle in that one, it is ok that I like to work in the same way and our work is similar. Two, it confirmed that the direction of my work is solid and I should pursue the beautiful side of traditionally functional objects with my own carving style on them. And of course to KEEP WORKING. Artists can make so many excuses all the time about why they have no new work but if you really are an artist you will always make work in some way, you may change your medium for a while or try something new, but you will always create. Something I have known, but now that I am definitely more mature, I understand the concept better and in a healthier way. Thank you Shikha for re-inspiring me and I have already signed up for the weekend in San Angelo in April.
