This has been a summer that will be one for the records as my adventures have taken me places and placed me in situations that I never imagined. It has been a time of eye opening experiences, new revelations as to who I am as a maker, an artist, and simply as a person. Challenging at times along with a bit of uncertainty, but now looking back at the past 3 months have been stellar. I have never felt more fulfilled and more certain than ever that I am on "The Right Path"! All it took was simply taking a chance and following my gut. The best part of all of this though has been the new friends that I made and the support from those who are close. My draw for community is what fuels my energy as a maker of objects and forming connections. With out those connections, I would not feel the same for my work. It would feel hollow to me and would lack meaning. So I shall continue on ward and upward! Stay tuned for an update on my Residency at Touchstone Center for Crafts.
