Creativity takes on many forms for me, which wax and wane like the lunar cycles (I'm a Cancer; go figure!). Writing, photography - and oil pastels and colored pencils, which were used to create this piece back in 2006. What I love about this medium is that it comes from a source deep within which can't be fully described or identified. I place a blank sheet of stock in front of me, choose a color - and when it hits the paper, I have no idea what's going to come out! The beauty of pure, raw creation. So many times I believe artists pigeon-hole themselves with labels. 'I am a writer.' 'I am a photographer.' 'I am a painter.' I say to hell with the labels, and just do whatever brings you joy!
