What will you do for your art?

Making art should be the first thing that comes to our minds when we wake up. I know the baby is crying, gotta get to work, it is true we are all busy. But that is all the more reason to continually make art. It is the thing that makes us who we are and it requires a certain amount of sacrifice. And I am not suggesting neglecting the kids or forgetting to go to work. I am suggesting making the time required to make our art finding ways to make art a part of our daily lives. It doesn’t always work but I try to go to the studio for at least ten hours a week, I spend four to six hours a week in the ballet studio and then whatever it takes to maintain this blog and my other online outlets. Granted it is not easy and I do not know if all the work will pay off in a way other than just for my own edification. All I know is that I have no regrets about anything I have done in my life but if I do not follow this calling I will look back, in 30 years, and hate myself. I also know I can’t stop. I have to make art. I have to communicate.

Art is the purity that makes us who we are.
