Art is Life
I’ve been writing about working on multiple Art projects at one time, and all the Artists I have spoke with seem to take the same approach!
One constant for me, though, even though I have many projects happening, is my dedication to doing something creative daily.
Recently, I began working on (or playing with, depending on how you view it!), is a mixed media piece utilizing book parts. I have worked in vintage books for many years now, either making art pieces, or altering them to be a journal.
This particular project I am working on came from a class I took with Carla Sonheim Presents (one of my favorite online class platforms). The class is called “Vintage Book Collage.”
What I find pleasing about this process is that I rely heavily on my creative instincts, while following what the art is telling me to do!
Also, In a time when I do a lot of artwork with the intent to sell, working on this piece, I have no expectations that I will do anything at all with the art…I am just enjoying the process!
I also find that working this way is a little like life….Sometimes I come across obstacles that I then must figure out!
Here is the piece I am working on:
