Mantras In My Mind

AUTUMN DANCERS 50" x 27"

I don’t know about you, but my head is a busy place. Especially when I’m working on an art piece I seem to channel the instructive sound bites of every art professor I ever had as well as those of my mother, all mixed in with old song lyrics!

All this noise was exhausting and counterproductive until several years ago when I read The Artist’s Way. This helped me “journal out” all these voices and filter them. Many were failure messages like: “You can’t do _____,” or “You’ll never ______,” and "You’re not ________” (fill in the blanks.) Once exposed and answered, these began to fade into the background so I could begin to hear the good stuff, but first I had to weed out the negative.

Anne,
I am an art teacher and was introduced to your work at my uncle's design store in Palm Desert CA. I love your work and I love your comment on why you teach and share. It is beautiful that you are trying to make this world better with your art and by sharing with those who want to learn. I identified with so much of what you said on your blog as I am sure many people have. I taught stained glass for many years, but have only done a tiny bit of fused glass. I hope maybe one day I will have the opportunity to take a class with you. I live in the Indianapolis, IN area so if you ever do a seminar close by please let me know. Your art is so beautiful we bought three pieces and are enjoying them in our home.
