Thanks, Wendy! You have an interesting combination of cultures and places in your background. You could start by thinking how they influenced to you as a child!

I am looking forward to finding my artistic origins . I am wondering if my neighborhood in Central Texas, my 100+ year old roots in Utah, and also Sweden can show in my art. Very stimulating for me to think of these three locals reflecting in my art.

Julie, thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s so wonderful to know that an artist on the other side of the world can relate to my stories!

Thank you, Alice! Irish culture seems very rich to me, lots to discover there!

I like that you are honoring your ancestral heritage. No worries about offending, at least not me…after all, art is from the heart…the spiritual heart. I think it is more authentic to look to our personal origins. Nice.

I’m sure you will offend someone, somewhere. At the end of the day that is their problem not yours!
For me my art has wildness and colour, colour, colour! I have attended a few workshops recently with European tutors, with pale washy colour and tiny workings. Thankfully when I have been ignored…and they do because I must have some of me in what I am creating I am comfortable enough to think “Cest la Vie”
Admire or not what you see but stay grounded by who you are.
Having said that your email and then blog post is one of the few that I open and totally enjoy from first word to last. Your art resonates in this fierce Australian soul.

I consider myself a spiritual person but not religious and would love to be able to express my art with this spiritual element and bring in the “little people”.
I love your work.

I have had much conflict in my artistic endeavors because I have always wanted to capture the spirit of whatever I paint/draw. I love this new direction your art is taking. Can’t wait for this new watercolor class. Thank you for following your inner guidance.
