Intuitive Art

I am an intuitive artist. This means that after years of practice and study, I now allow my work to speak to me and lead me where it wishes to go . Intuitive artists do not set out with a goal of what the work will be such as a landscape for example.  The viewer can look into the depths of the piece and find his or her own story. Intuitive art allows me to find my own story there as well.  After I had open heart surgery ten years ago, my cardiologist told me that my work would never be the same.  She was right and here I am.

                       

A Word about Words

Art has all kind of avenues to it.  Here is a You Tube demonstration of work by a Letterist: Eliza Holliday.
Eliza's  work is spellbinding...not to make a pun on words, but I am longing to take one of her book binding workshops... you can also check her blog at http://theletterist.blogspot.com/
