The Process of Creating

With IDS 12 in Toronto 2 weeks away, the pressure to create is finally easing. Since after weeks of creating, reviewing and redoing, I finally see a finish line. It's really interesting creating and making my own Art, rather than the commission interior finishes I do professionally. 

The distinct difference for me is the Concept to Reality process. Since when asked to create a wall finish for example it is rather straight forward (generally), the client or designer provides a theme or reference, thus direction. Yet when it is your own Art, Personality and Spirit of creation, the energy is very different from commission works. The direction moves and changes, outcomes become more stressful since they aren't always what you wanted the outcome to be...and the reference of creating really doesn't exist, until you finish a piece and then you finally feel content with it.

It's kind of a Peak Valley Peak, thing. If this makes no sense to you, do worry,... let an artist deal with it!

At IDS 12 in Toronto, I will be displaying my new pieces 'Rustic Love' Opening Night... hope to see you there!
