A New Semester

Starting off this semester brings both excitement and fear. Excitement to be back in such a rich art making community, and fear in that I need to figure out what. the. heck. i. want. to. make.

Creating a "Portfolio", a cohesive body of work that addresses a certain idea or theme, has been extremely difficult for me. I see myself mostly as a teacher, because I have been teaching most of my life. Although I am creative, I have yet to find a way to manifest that creativity into something tangible and long lasting.

Don't get me wrong, I have created artwork, I have made things that I do approve of and enjoy. But I have yet to make a generous amount of work on one idea or topic. This semester, my goal is for that to change.
