Why?!?!

Why do I have to be such a procrastinator?!?! If there was one thing I could change about myself it would be that!!! So wish me luck in finishing my 8 page paper before 6 pm!!!!!!! (This is the moment I’m screaming at myself and the hole I dug!!!!)  I hate the class, but this is our last real assignment, I need to finish it and get this class over with and NEVER look back…. Oh and FU*K PPA!!!! NEVER again!!!!

Art Talks

Today I was lucky enough to be able to hear a talk by artist Sarah Perry.  She does amazing work that is so original and unique.  Sarah is also truly a character and her lively personality was a joy to listen too.  In her lecture she stated something that resonated with me and I would love to share.  She told us her definition of an artist and I find it to be an exceptional definition “you need a leap of faith to be an artist”.  This is so true there is nothing guaranteed about being an artist, but if you have made the decision that creating art drives you, and then you need to just take that leap of faith… So I’m leaping :-)  I wanted to share some of her work below.  I also was lucky enough to see a talk by artist Gustavo Godoy last night.  He was truly inspiring.  The lines of his work were so moving and all I could think was wow this in metal would be exceptional.  HAHA.  He gave a talk that was inspiring and his work was so amazing I was quite inspired to create and I went home and did two sketches inspired by his talk and work.  I will show you a few of his works below as well.  Enjoy!

Today’s Epiphany

I love my sculpture class and it has single handedly contributed to my change of heart.  I want to be able to create for a living.  It makes me happy and fame or money isn’t my goal.  I just want to do what makes me happy, and sculpture and art make me happy.  So I’m going to try and get into an MFA program somewhere in California so that I can tap into my sculpting skills and desires.  But in the next few months I will be working feverishly to try and get a portfolio together.  So cross your fingers, wish me luck and send good thoughts my way!!

Just Another Day in the Art Dept.

Made these rings today while I was hanging in the art department.  I'm going to do more with them, but this is the beginning stage of the ring.

Metal!!!

This is my newest sculpture.  I found the different pieces and fell in love with their line so I had to make something... This is the outcome.
