Where The Heavens Meet the Waters

Thank you Linnie. I always think of myself as a visual storyteller. It's the most meaningful art to me. Have a wonderful blessed day! Len

Hey Steven, I am with you in the same situation, I have training as a textile designer from the Fashion Inst. in NYC and from my very early years in fine art from classes but I am in a group known as "the outsiders." We are people who don't have the formal training and that is just fine! I have a number of friends who are in the same group and are excellent artists. You work your craft like anyone else with consistency, hard work and never stop learning. The more you do it, the better you get at it. I came back to my fine art at 51 and how I am 69! I understand my craft and know what I am doing from studying other artists, taking things from them and adding it to my own style and developed my own look. Inspiration is very important but it also comes with studying your craft and developing it, so the inspiration has the human tools to work with. You are the medium that it works through but you have to be familiar and learn to master the medium that you are working with! Have fun with the journey, you will only keep getting better! Best, Len

Thank you Anne! Glad to be a part of this group and see what will be happening to stir people up even more with their art and gifts! Best, Len
