"True art and artists are alive and exist all around us. This is my search to find others like myself and decode the real question: Do I or don't I continue to believe that I am an artist? I'm giving myself one year to figure it out
(from andisartproject.blogspot.com )

This captions my first Art Girl blog and I did a lot of soul searching to find those answers.
Yes. I am an artist.
Yes. There are others out there.

How very simple, huh? I spent a year on that! 
It was like seeing the world through new eyes.

OVER a year was spent on that and answers were found to questions I didn't even know I had. The artistic tribe was/is everywhere. 
Make new friends. Learn new ways to make art.
I AM an artist and I AM needed!!! This feels amazing and it's what I want!
I said "yes" to pretty much all new projects and responsibilities. Sharing ideas and opening my heart. 

This is how it went:
       Open eyes...open heart...more...more...art...home...family...tired...more...busy busy...tired...new job...art...out on weekends...exhaustion...art...tired...art people...more art people...less art...out more...crash boom bang!!

Free falling is a scary feeling when you have no balance.
Left to my own devices, I AM an artist with no focus. 
The Art Girl=Do all the things!!

Yeah, this could be a problem. This was a problem. 
Here is the answer and It's actually more important than the search I started out with:
SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!
So yeah, coming back is a difficult process.
That is the answer to so many things ya know? Slow the fuck down. 
I wonder if the Beatles wrote a song about that?
