LIFE IN A PHONE BOOTH


A feeling like your space is closing in on you when you are on overdrive in the studio.

You’re here but you’re not.
 
 
 
 
 
Art and Creativity bring with it a certain sensitivity and emotional package. After all, to be able to bring things you imagine to live there’s a toll.
 
We pay for the privilege with passion, emotion, sometimes even tears and intense drain on the energy. In reality everyone who exists pays some sort of toll in life, good or bad or a mix of both.







Spending too much time in the studio and a feeling of being alone


 
 
 
 
Sometimes feeling overwhelmed with art demands and right brain not working....

 
 
 
 
 
A feeling that I'm not producing
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A feeling I need more space when I don't
 
 
 
 
some long nights in the studio when it's just not working
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
    When I'm away from the studio, it's still there
 
 
 
 
 

When the right side of the brain is in full gear, I need to take advantage of my creative side.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sometimes when the inspiration is not there, we need to find it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 When the left side of the brain hits, the art is just not working at all. I take advantage on computer work, such as writing, bookwork and marketing.
 
 
 
 
 
Finding the balance to produce art is a must, as not for the art, I would not have customers, galleries, commissions, and my profession as a fine artist would end up in the ditch.

 "The stress part of any job is it took you a long time to get there , it’s even harder to stay there…"
 
Over all... I love my passion for being an artist, it's just a job like anyone else and we just happen to love our job.
 
 I love my "Phone Booth"
 
Cheers.......
