I LOVE synchronicity. LOVE it! I am having that kind of year. I could mention every proverbial cliché
(“..one door closes, another opens”; “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear”; “Everything happens for a reason”; yadda yadda yadda… I won’t bore you, but it is all true. Synchonistic events are happening on an almost daily basis for me. Years ago, I would waste a week trying to figure out why all this is happening. Now, I just smile a big smile and say,
YES!Artists are a unique bunch to say the least. There are so many different kinds of artists. There are the artists of various media and genre. There are artists who are experienced and there are artist newbies. There are social butterfly, marketing artists and those (like me) who could go the rest of their lives not talking to anybody about their work because they are just too busy making stuff. This is all good. We are a heterogeneous bunch.
But are we really all that different? I don’t think so. In fact, I think we are homogeneous. We all want the same thing. The form it takes might differ, but we are really more alike than different. I was speaking to an
ART FRIEND today
Judy Vienneau We were talking about wanting art friends. I was so excited to hear her mention this. I had art friends years ago. Now, I have art acquaintances. I long for art friends. Really.
After leaving my studio, I got home and got an email for another
ART FRIEND Tina Nordloh. Tina mentioned some of the exact same things Judy and I had just talked about at ArtLofts studios.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh……Synchronicity. I love it! I truly believe we are all more alike than different. It is time for artists to put their guard down. We need to let go of any fear and embrace each other. What is good for one is good for all of us. If one succeeds, it gives the rest of us hope that art reigns and our time will come. Be happy for other artists! In the meantime, we have to be united as one. We have to cheer each other on with great gusto and encouragement. Being an artist is difficult at times. I know. I have lived the artist life for about 40 years now. It shows on my face! Regardless, I am ready to embrace artists of all sorts. As creatives, we should try to be
ONE.
Let’s be friends!

We are all such art loners, but in our heart of hearts, we want the support of (ART) others and have art friends. We really don’t want to be alone.
Hey, we are in this together!
