"It’s human desire to be understood. And we always feel we’re not understood."
-John Baldessari
There is so much that goes into making art that can easily be missed when you look at a finished image. There are the the inspirations that spawn it, the epiphanies and breakthroughs that fuel it, as well as a slew of failures and challenges to overcome along the way. All to me are equally as interesting and important. This is what I call the Creativesphere. It's the magical place where overflowing optimism and possibility collide with the cold, hard realities of life.
This blog is dedicated to that process. The process of not only creating, but appreciating…attempting to understand…and finding ourselves in it.
Lying on the beach
Under the sun
Breathing
Feeling
Just letting its rays
Have their way with me
Maybe a gentle breeze
To keep me cool
While I’m being warmed on the inside
Nowhere to be
No one to answer to
Ahhhh…
A moment like this
Only happens in my mind
[Read more…] about I should feel more (or less)
I keep catching myself thinking
I want nothing wrong
I want days with smooth edges
And no complications
But the truth is
If I really want nothing wrong
Then I have to imagine it
Because life doesn’t work that way
Its’ perfection lies elsewhere

Life is smart
It beats me up just enough
To expose what’s under my skin
So I can see better
What I’m really made of
Which is almost always
More than I think

Most of our lives are spent in the moments
Between the moments
The large swaths of time
Sandwiched between memories
I’m beginning to think maybe
That’s by design
What if the things that really matter
Happen in between
The things we think really matter?

Have you ever believed something
That turned out wasn’t true?
Belief is malleable
Fallable
As more information
Reveals itself
The picture can completely change
I know
Because I’m an artist
My truth changes every day
