The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
Albert Einstein 

Every few days I open an email from another artist asking me “how did you do that?”  They want to know my techniques, my materials and…if I am not too busy…some personal instruction.  I have never felt an obligation to share my secrets with others.  To me the joy and fun of creating is to explore…try unusual things….find your art. Copying may be the greatest form of flattery, but somehow I never feel flattered when I see someone attempting to duplicate my work.  It’s almost like seeing your husband with another woman.  I feel violated.  I developed my styles the hard way….by trial and error.  I have spent many years marketing myself and building a strong following.  My work is branded well and people recognize it as mine.  So if you want to know my secret…it’s this….be your own artist….find your own voice….spend some money on a variety of materials and explore what is inside you.  Be inspired by others if you must, but always be original.  Like the quote above says “hide” your sources.  Make your inspired work so much your own that it will not be identified as someone else’s. 🙂

“How Deep Is Your Love”

I love the rich taste of dark bittersweet chocolate on my tongue.

I love the sound of the rain hitting the roof late at night.

I love to smell the ocean at sunrise.

I love to sing in the shower.

I love to create art.

I love my family.

I love life.

I love.

Deep.

“The Roots Of Love Run Deep” is by far one of my most popular paintings.  I am not certain if it is the design…the colors or the title that attracts people from all over the world.  I have shipped prints to Japan….Australia….even small Greek islands.   Love truly is the Universal language…I am glad that I speak it.

How deep is YOUR love?

I’ve always been a dancer, but mostly behind closed doors.  When I was young I learned how to square dance in school.  But that kind of movement never moved me.  I also taught aerobic classes for quite a few years and while it did involve some rhythmic body steps, it was not quite tripping the light fantastic.  When I paint, I always start out with some simple jumps and steps to music to loosen me up.  I listen while I work and take breaks now and again to get my body in sync with the melody that is currently playing.  And I finish with my own type of dancing.  To me art has always been a type of dance…..  

Love Runs Deep
