I do murals, straight up painting, repair work and other creative type things to keep a money flow coming in but my goal is to one day simply do my art. I want to paint the stories that I feel passionate about. I want to be able to make a difference in this world through the art that I create. <\/p>\n
My Goddess project that I have been working on is one of those passions. I don\u2019t paint them because I expect to get rich, I paint them because I have to. There are times when I don\u2019t get to work on them because I am busy with the survival things. It is easy for me to put myself, and my dreams, behind other things, the \u201cpractical\u201d things. Then someone buys me some paint that I need, another sends me a check for new brushes and most recently, someone buys me some more boards so that I can start a new Goddess. (Not only does she buy me a board, she enlists the help of a friend who doesn\u2019t even know me to deliver them to my home!)<\/p>\n
I cannot even explain how this feels to me. To know that what I am doing is maybe something more than just MY dream. To know that perhaps it matters to others as well. It\u2019s a validation that is huge for an artist like me. It keeps me motivated, it keeps me going. (It makes me feel less guilty for spending money on paint when I have a hundred other things I probably \u201cshould\u201d be spending it on!) <\/p>\n
To all my friends and to those I\u2019ve never even met who have supported me in every way, I thank you. It\u2019s huge. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
