It takes a lot of guts for me to put my creativity out there. I dont think I'm alone in having a fear of judgments and failure. We often use these things not only as an excuse to not pursue our dreams, but also as a means to convince ourselves that we are not worthy, so why even try.
I've been creating images for years and have always found joy in the process. It was not untill recently that I decided that I wanted to share my creativity with others. I have a strong faith and desire to spread God's light and love into this dark world; that meant I would have to step out of my comfort zone and actually get out into the world in which I want to share this profound message.
BIG STEP!
So here I am and SOLO Mixed Media was born.
If you landed on my page that means that you probably appreciate the fine art of photography. Unfortunately, I feel I am in the minority as most photographers today making a living are capturing weddings and babies. I do weddings and babies, I love weddings and babies, but my passion lies in the fine art world. My passion lies in sparking interest and creating in people, intrigue and a willingness to look at the world from a different perspective.
If my life was narrowed down to one thing it would be caring for others in a way which reflects Jesus' care for me. Fortunately, God has designed us to be complex creatures with the capicity to take on many challenges; for me that includes creativity. This, today, is not what pays the bills. This, today is what develops in ME intrest, intruige, and the ability to look at the world from a different perspective.
