Welcome to this new/old format. I wrote a blog years ago, found many friends and had amazing conversations. After a bit of a rough 2022, I realized I was feeling a lot of “burnout” from social media and evaluated how I might begin 2023 in a different way. I had this blog area sitting here on my website and decided I would try my hand at that again. It doesn’t mean you will not be seeing me on social media but I will hopefully be having more conversations here.
I am remaining wide open as to timing because it is rote activities that wears me down. I have decided I would like to focus on “Creative Freedom”. What began this idea was talking to my oldest friend when I was in the throws of dealing with a lot of personal stuff. I shared with her how I felt so burned out with social media and needed a different way to share with my friends around the world. This is what came of several conversations. I am keeping the blog title of Living The Artist Life At Atelier 325 because my work with Andrea is a large part of what my creativity is all about.
It is my desire to explore what Creative Freedom means and how one might achieve that. I acknowledge this subject is very individualized and, for me, that is a very big part of this. Here at the beginning of this project I am feeling like this idea of creative freedom is about exploring a lot of different avenues of creativity. I have been painting for many years although I have expressed my creativity in many forms in the past. I am seeing the freedom to re-exploring old expressions and learning new one all while I continue to paint. I want to be able to combine techniques and ideas in a way which is meaningful to me. I want to hear about how you explore your own creativity and about the emotions it evokes. I want to know what it takes for us to realize this feeling of being free to just create and how it impacts our lives. I will share what nudges me along and hopefully hear about what nudges you along, too. I want to take a deep dive into this subject and am hopeful you will join me.
So here I am at the beginning of this project and looking forward to you joining me on this adventure in a meaningful way. I am looking forward to more than a quick note about what I have painted or a quick click of the ❤️ button. I am looking forward to some conversation if this interests you. Please leave a comment if this sounds good and if you are interested. I will be reminding people of new postings on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. I will also explore other ways of letting you know when there is a new posting so let me know if something else will work better for you.
I do hope you will choose to join me so we can explore together what creative freedom means.
