Sometimes the only way to make something real is to say it out loud. There comes a time when you have to put your best foot forward and follow your dreams. Suck up the fear and bust through any insecurities in order to get to a point where you are living the life you want and deserve. All my life, as far back as I can remember I have been creating but I have never been confident enough to call myself an artist until now. Back in the days when I first started you were never acknowledged as an artist in many circles unless you were a painter or sculptor or followed an accepted genre ridgidly and that just was'nt me. It is only in the last few years that I have found the confidence to speak my name in the same sentence as Artist. And now I have business cards that say I am so it must be true. Seriously though this has only come with heaps of encouragement and suppoprt from my husband and family as well lots faith and belief in myself. It hasn't been easy to accept that maybe I actually have a talent and it still feels wierd saying that, I have had to do a great deal of sucking up my fears but I knew that it was the only way I would be able to continue to do what I love and now when I am in my studio I feel 10 foot tall and invincible and nothing can stop me now from being the artist I am.
