Making art is creating a love for yourself no one can ever take away from you. This powerful force it holds for the mind and spirit was paramount in my decision to see if I could make a community art space like this work.
Unfortunately, on my own, I haven't been able to wear all the necessary hats needed to grow the business in the way I originally envisioned and make enough doing it. Things sure did look a little different in early 2019...
Inherent in the creative process is risk. The two are inextricably linked. Things don't work out sometimes, but no act of creativity is ever wasted.
While I've carried a lot of grief over the death of what feels like a living thing, I have been trying to focus more on the gratitude for having had the chance to try. I'm so deeply grateful for the relationships that have graced my life during this time. There has been so much love, beauty, and connection created in this space by the artists passing through.
Thank you to all the people who supported the space by commissioning a painting, taking a class, telling a friend about the studio, donating art supplies, or coming in on a Sunday to make something.
The last Open Studio day will be Dec. 18 12-5pm so stop by one more time to make some beauty in here.
There will probably be some lightly used materials to peruse as well.
💛
