This is a great message for me to hear, for all of us to hear who are “doing art” and sometimes wonder if it will ever be good enough to share. There is the idea of doing art just for oneself, to use it as a therapeutic process, which is beneficial for sure, but your perspective gives me another motivation to actually share my work with someone(s). As always, Thank you for your wisdom and encouragement.
I just ordered your new book for myself. Merry Christmas to me!
Maybe I’m late to the party- but have you ever thought about or actually ever made autographed bookplates that we can purchase for our books? I would love to have your signature inside my copy. 😊
I loved this message. I have greatly enjoyed your essays and this one went straight to my heart. Thank you.
