Blog: Choose to Create

As an artist you believe that when you create a work of art, you recognize that you are choosing to honor your life and who you are. A work of art should honor your uniqueness and individuality.

To create a work of art you choose to live, honor and control your existence through your work. The choice is a hard one because you are choosing to actually create a work of art rather than borrow the ideas of another and call it art. And, to put yourself out there is hard. Really hard. But, it is more important to you that you honor who you are than to compromise who you are. It is more important to honor how you think, rather than to honor how others think. You had to use your mind, rather than allow your mind to go blank and just do what another has done. When you choose the latter, then you are not choosing to create, truly create. You are not honoring who you really are and what you are capable of.

When you give up thinking your soul, spirit and mind begin to atrophy and work routinely, like a machine. Your mind, your soul you spirit is then just a machine at the service of others.

Choose to create.

Choose your own soul.

Choose your mind and drive it as far as it will take you.
