To be an artist

To be an artist is to be a creator but the act of creation can take many forms.  It is an act of creation to have a clean house, to be a good friend,  parent, or neighbor.  It is an act of creation to be in a yoga practice or to plant and tend a garden.  All of these things are just as rewarding and just as valid as painting a picture, making music or making a hat.  It is what we create within ourselves,  in our relationships with the world and all brothers and sisters that inhabit this Earth with us.  "All My Relations"

To be in balance within myself and with everything in my world (All That Is) is my primary goal and I believe that it is also my primary purpose in the world.  For if I am in balance then that which is around me has the opportunity to be in balance as well.  For me,  listening to Spirit, creating things with my hands and expressing myself through sound keep me in balance.  What keeps you in balance?  What kind of artist are you?

The latest expression of mine takes the form of hats......here are a few of the latest.
