The lovable Heidi Huber got me thinking about my work making a difference today. I know my nudes have the impact of helping someone see themselves beyond what’s in the mirror; a sense of beauty they may not have seen before, something deeper than the curves, dimples, and strength that brought them to me. They walk away with a blossomed confidence from when they arrived.
My ongoing fine art, coming from what I’m inspired by at the moment, resonates with viewers and brings great discussion and commentary propelling me forward. This feedback leaves an impact on me adding fuel to the passion that keeps me creating while inspiring others to look at things from a fresh perspective.
And finally, the calls I receive to make a difference in others work by offering up the creative direction they may need to bump up their projects to the next level, reinforces that I’m moving in the right direction. Making a difference is a nice reward, though I consider it a bonus to being fortunate enough to create, since without creating, I don’t truly really feel alive.
With a birthday quickly approaching, it seemed a perfect time to reflect on what impact I make on the world. I realize I leave it a little more beautiful, inside and out, and I’m smiling a little bigger now moving into another year.
This recent work, inspired by the water surrounding me at the time, are actually foliage of the Caribbean. The fluidity is what evolved when I stopped thinking and let my gut takeover. Getting lost in creating is the absolute best.
They share all as they bare all, marking the moment in time. These stories and my interactions have been great for dinner parties and will be the future of what comes here.
