Letting Go !

It is not always easy to let go !

Like most artists I put a lot of myself in my art.

Because what I try to express, consciously or not, is deeply meaningful to me, I can sometimes get deeply attached to the pieces I have created. It feels like I poured myself into it. Of course I want to make it available for sale or give it away, but the thought of letting it go feels like a wrench.

And then of course I remember that I do not create for myself, but to share with others, the community that supports me. I need to realize that I will not lose a part of myself by releasing something I just created, for if anything, the process of creating expands me. It brings me more alive than ever, for creation is an expression, not a giving up.

Finding a good home for it makes it easier to let go of your art

Although it may sometimes be difficult to let one piece go, it is a great pleasure to know that it’s find a good home; that it is going to a place where it will be appreciated and that it will bring joy into the house or venue where it is now to be hosted.
