Feeding My Creativity

dreams flooded in my youth- days when I was still trying to figure out who I was and what gifts God bestowed onto me; I was ten when I discovered I could write- wanted to write. loved to write. needed to write. a couple years later I started drawing to ignore the echoes of youthful transgressions; etches of a life I wished I had, ebony paint lining brushes, canvas wearing beauty and darkness- hues of beautiful scars spread across an easel… (making me who I am today) I never really had proper schooling for my gifts- they come as natural as the autumn’s chilled breeze, I know this, and I feel blessed. turning forty is really hitting me hard- what have I done with my life? accomplishments awards conquests so I took these weary arthritic hands and started creating a new form of art I never could have imagined I would embrace. I found my late sister’s tool chest and began a whole new life (a life of purpose) hammer and nails screws and driver saw and wood- my new artistic hobby is building personalized wood signs for family and friends. I have one reason why I do what I do today- to see the felicity on the face of a loved one; my artwork is spread across the world Canada Philippines India and 15 states in the US my favorite artist is I, for I have many a gift in me- with hands of strength and inspiration feeding my creativity. 11.11.19 Contest - Your Favorite Artist Sponsor - Chantelle Anne Cooke
