Dear Life, I am setting up my new studio. As the art supplies are moved in, I smile through waves of nervousness and remember, THIS is part of the CREATIVE process: Placing the table, chair and art supply cabinet in just the right spot, sitting and looking out the window onto the courtyard between studios, feeling the space and allowing my body to fully move in. Be here each day and the work will follow. The hand will go into motion. Lessons I have learned guide me.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Dear Life, The past week was consumed with seeking a new place to live (still looking) with one “day” off to re-center in the studio. As I walked through the door, my shoulders went down and I sighed. Felt so good to be in my quiet space. I did this painting to “focus”. Making art grounds me, clears my mind, gives me a boost of energy. For decades, I’ve experienced a spiritual connection during my creative practice: Focus, Structure and Community. All three are essential for my well-being. Thank you for being community.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
