#yycLCL October 2018
When one chooses to enter the creative circle, is it really a choice?
Many say “the circle” chooses the artist.
Many say an artist cannot help themselves.
I agree.
Learning to express through art is hard work and takes practice. The challenge often comes from our self-imposed expectations and a tinge of fear that could cripple our ability to create. And yet, we persevere, because it’s in us to do so. And we share, because it’s in us to do so. Our hard work and practice develops into studies, sketches, completed works, in whatever medium we choose. This turns into gratitude, awareness, healing, and joy.
Living a creative life helps to connect the dots.
