I haven't laid eyes on my old house for years because I avoid it...seeing it falling apart just breaks my heart. I wish I could pick it up & move it out into the country, into a big field, and fix it all up. If I was Bill Gates, that's what I'd do.
When I look at my career & my art, on one hand I did it without grants or art school or loans or a patron, so I feel like I'm self-made. And yet if I really think about it, there's no way I can take sole credit for what I have been able to achieve. So I'm trying to remember that and be humble in my success, and give back (or pay forward) as much as I can. They're just masks, really...I'm hoping that the way I make them & share them will elevate them to something more important than that. I think art can be a wonderful tool for healing & expression, & I'm trying to find new ways to promote that.
I love my Subaru too! All-wheel drive & 28 miles to the gallon...how can you beat that? I thought I'd never love a car more than I loved my Dad's old Volvo, but this Outback is a solid winner. ^_^
