On Oxford Impressions and Art

I was thrilled to be interviewed by Sharon Briss for the Gingersnap Creations blog.  Sharon is a great interviewer and asked insightful questions that made me focus my thoughts about my relationship with art. Click here to read the interview: Gingersnap Creations .

I reference the above art by D. J. Pettitt in the article and since it is one of my favorite pieces, I want to share it with you.  It is framed floating in glass, so forgive the slight blur and the flash.  I need to learn how to photograph framed art!

When I bought the mixed media piece, I was struggling to change.  I had fallen into the trap that catches those who work from home.  I had been feeling a bit isolated and closed off from the "real world".  I knew I had to change to grow. The interesting thing is that I did not realize at the time that is the reason I was so attracted to this piece.  All I knew is I felt strong emotion when I looked at it. It has been a few years since I hung this art in my studio and in that time, I have "emerged from the house". I still find great pleasure in this art.
