I love how open you are with sharing info on how you are making it all work. It is inspiring to me. I have had 3 kids in the last 4 years & so the creative process is just now coming back to me. I am trying to find my groove again. Thanks for inspiring! can't wait to hear more.<br />liz.liz eatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271512905850062388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474396862557029662.post-64595611875254692282012-01-17T08:42:21.295-05:002012-01-17T08:42:21.295-05:00oh this is wonderful!

In Maslow's hierarchy, creating is a higher level order than say, bathing or washing underwear and I can barely manage to brush my teeth (gross but true) much less feel the spirit to create. Any key tips on how to balance and carve out time for self? And, more importantly, where can we purchase your original artworks?Kimla Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12033830621390289218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474396862557029662.post-80874168844614273182012-01-14T01:13:30.811-05:002012-01-14T01:13:30.811-05:00Lovely and filled with truth of your beginnings.

I wake up late, I get in the studio late, but I am up until the wee hours of the morning drinking beer and jamming. I usually listen to everything I own and forget to eat dinner and check emails or phone calls. I still don't own a computer, I started my blog on my iPhone and continue to. I don't have a plan for my career but I know exactly what I want to do. <br /><br />I read your blog all the time, even the old entries. You have been quite an influence on me lately...so I am wondering what art books do you have in your studio? Art always inspires, but is there anything/anyone else you find yourself going back to before working or when you get stuck? I think you do a wonderful job on the blog. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders, and I am sure whatever you decide will work out and I wish you the best of luck. Hell, I am proud of you to be so positive these days...so many blogs are so negative these days, so good job on keeping yours uplifting and inspiring.Bad Jones Risinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12009467381041334906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474396862557029662.post-18735249821837412032012-01-12T13:32:48.410-05:002012-01-12T13:32:48.410-05:00I love how natural the process has been for you.
