Here is a little something I wrote to mark the journey of coming out of my shell and finally sharing and submitting my work. 2016 is the year of many wonders.
My art is discovering itself
Slowly rising from the ashes of nothingness
My art roars with the fever of a creature that yearns to be heard
Caressed with youthful abandon
My art is strong like our foremothers who fought silent wars behind closed doors
My art is born to stand out
And yet the spirit of perfection is keeping me from launching
The constant what if's and what then?
What if I am not good enough, what will people say, what if they don't like it, worse yet, what if they do like it and I my well of creativity dries up
On some days that is why my art prefers to stay hidden.
And yet on some great days my art threatens to burst out of the shell I carefully crafted
It yearns to be caressed by a thousand golden kisses and celebrated eternally
It yearns to be mounted on the walls of galleries for the world to see
It yearn to be sung and praised by men and women alike
It yearns to be studied and dissected by students in crowded corridors
My Art lives within my soul
Nurtured and nourished from infancy
I feed my art with words and pictures and feelings unsaid
Greatness is my destiny
Art is my life
Everyday is a chance to learn, grow and express
My art on paper
still
shy to come out and spray the masses with her potency
My art is my voice scribbled on paper yet whispered to my peers
My art is my art and one day I can't wait for you guys to hear me roar
