"You must find the place inside yourself where nothing is impossible."
— Deepak Chopra: is an authority in the field of mind-body healing
The quote above really applies to art. Within every artist is this nagging thought that we don't have value, that we don't know what we are doing. Most of us keep it locked in a little room in a dark corner of our souls. Sometimes not so much. But we always keep working. That is the key to life: Never stop. Never stop because within every person there is a solution to every problem, not always the best solution, but a solution. Everything is relative. I believe in a limitless universe of endless possibility. My job is to express that artistically. I certainly try to keep that little doubtful voice locked in the little room. If it escapes, I listen to it, because that is the polite thing to do, then I ask it to go back and not come out until it is really important. Sometimes what Doubt has to say is very important.
This piece is from my art school time. The class was about drawing the figure, in a class room setting and putting that figure in another environment. Which was completely up to us individually. Great fun, and expanded my mind. Circa 1994.
