I am an Artist
In the beginning, There comes a time when you share your ideas with yourself, whether through painting, drawing, photography , etc. You open yours eyes at what You Created and think to yourself, I feel something ,something different, an ignition inside of me. It stirs you, and emotions and feelings run through you fast. Not understanding this at first creation, one still feels that something was set free.

Time passes and feedback on your creation, and now creations start to make their way to your ears or eyes. You think to yourself they like it and you feel good inside. You release more of yourself into your craft bringing thoughts to peoples minds and feelings. Changing someone forever showing them your view of life's invisible details. I believe the moment when your piece affects someone is when you have arrived. It is not selling your first piece or how many shows you do .It is truly that moment when someone sees your work and can't help but feel a Wow, Oh!, Sadness , Inspiration, Amazement, or In Awe.

Creating paintings, drawings, and photographs still. You need to create it. It! is the most part of you! Sleep is not needed as you pour yourself into your creations. Hours by hours changing a detail over and over again until you KNOW!, the color, the light, the texture, etc. Knowing is the drug that fills your veins with It Is! When It Is, then that is when the piece jumps at you and steps inside you forever.
