I Have Missed You…

I know, I have been away too long…

I won’t bore you with the mundane. Instead I will show you ART. My Beautiful ART. I am having a lightning bolt of creative energy, it would be nice to bottle this electricity. Whatever my brain does when my Bipolar Creativity kicks in is like a superpower.

Like an Artist before me has already written about and created a movie entitled, ” Touched with Fire”, he stated truth. That is what it feels like. His name is Paul, and I highly recommend the film if you want to understand Bipolar Disorder more fully

The Ryan Licht Sang Bipolar Foundation has awarded my another grant this year for my work, “Head in the Clouds”. The Call was to create a work that communicated what it feels like to be Bipolar. This is a hugely meaningful event for me, I have grown to love Dusty and Joyce Sang and their family; they founded The Ryan Licht Sang Bipolar Foundation in honor of their son who died as a direct result of having this deadly illness. Please do yourself a kindness and visit the Foundation website, read about all the exciting advancements in Science and the Quest for The Test; the research they fund to find a Biomarker for this disease so kids can be diagnosed before the hellish symptoms begin.

I’m so pleased to have my work chosen, this is the 5th year in a row I have received this Grant and will be my 5th work in their Permanent Collection. Oh my…

I wish my Mom and Dad were alive, Mom especially, since she always believed in me and my talent. Daddy had issues, which I understand in retrospect, so I no longer blame him for not paying for me to go to Art School. I made choices that led me down a long and winding road, but I’m here now, clean and sober 24 years and truly happy, all thanks to my God.

I am loving the piece I’m working on now, it’s a whole story if prophecy and future. Boom. It is going to cause quite a stir at The Morean Arts Center Members Show.

I can’t wait!!!!
