Many artists pick out a focal word to begin a new year. Last year my art resolution word was “create.” That meant giving myself permission to experiment without always worrying about the sales side. This year, the word I am infusing into my creative process is “story.” I will continue to explore the freedom of creation, but with the goal of creating art that tells stories.
A side journey in my storytelling adventure will focus on “eyes.” Since the eyes are the windows to the soul, they are a critical tool in any artist’s story kit. I won’t promise 365 days of trail and error with eyes, but you will see my exploration of eye treatments play a prominent role in my art practice.
So what where is your artistic journey taking you in 2014?
