the much delayed beginning

I love art.

For the past 15 years I have lived with a yearning to explore the world of art, not just from the sidelines, but from inside, getting my hands dirty. I feel a deep yearning to create, to lose myself in the act, without any thought of the outcomes or the praise of others. I need to find a way to balance the dark with the light, to process, to breath out and to breath in.

Fear has held me back for many years, but lately, a little voice has been calling out, urging me to "wake up and experience a new part of life. Be fulfilled and experience joy found simply in the act of creating beauty". The courage to listen to that voice is immense but I have stepped out.

So this is my journey. My journey towards creativity. Towards finding a part of myself that has been hidden and is reaching for the light.
