I have been a little ‘off the radar’ recently ! Struggling with high levels of anxiety and coming to terms with a new understanding of how my strange brain works. Sometimes – and I can recognise many examples of this through my life – I need a creative mental re-set and I believe that I have just come through one. Suffice to say that it has led to a greater understanding of who I am and what I want to say to the world as an artist.
I know I am creative ! But having an imagination that is on ‘firework mode’ a lot of the time can get exhausting….especially when you have to still do LIFE STUFF. So I am going back to my blog ‘Three things I am grateful for today’ and am even considering trying my hand at Vlogging. I dearly love all the work that I do and have done in my life and I can only do Art when it ‘feels right’ or interests me. It has always been confusing for me to think about fitting into a category- am I an Artist? Am I an Illustrator? Could I be a ‘Maker’ a Potter SO
I am not going to try to fit in anymore – I simply need to be my complete self and draw on my different strengths to make my life the best it can be. You will see that I have made changes on my website to reflect this .
Coming soon !! I have started work on a Vlog that I hope will capture ALL of my creativity and maybe resonate with other neurodivergent creatives who prefer not to fit into an easy mould. I want it to contain all the things I do – not just art but poetry- music – philosophical musings and more. I will also continue with TTIAGratefulft as YES I still am grateful for many many things. Thanks to you if you have read this to the end I appreciate your time and space.
Here is a pic of a Buddha I am working on at the moment. My gorgeous partner in crime Neil created a 3D model of a Buddha for me and I have built it up with clay. Here it is in its current form pre-painting…. I will show you the completed version when Its done. Love from Bevii.
