At just the right moment, a brush stroke of sunlight suddenly changes the way an ordinary everyday, object, person, or place are illuminated. On the other side of that brush where there is no sun, the contrast of shadows sculpts depth and texture on all it touches. What is it that attracts us to an image and engages our interest and emotions so fully with it's secret essence? How is it that art draws us with invisible threads to a connection with something inside of us that we've always known and felt... but only recognize after we have seen it?
As a young child I was very drawn towards creativity, but like so many other children, especially in those times, we were prodded by well-meaning parents into the pursuit of the practical, also known as, money-making skills. So finally, in my advanced years, I am devoting some time to use what I have learned in life to recapture the place where the creative spirit of my childhood was left behind. My creative growth requires as much unlearning of my goal oriented, perfectionistic ways, as it does in my learning to recognize when my heart feels that the moment is right. This is the time when creativity and skills blend harmoniously
