Art is Life
I love my job because of the smile that comes across a person’s face when they see the work of art I have created. Whether they bought one of my needlepoint canvas designs, a button, a sticker, a painting, a photograph, or a resin creation, the look of joy and happiness makes it all worth it to me. It could even be someone reading one of my stories and poems and enjoying the read. I might not get paid to write them, but I even consider writing my fanfiction stories as part of my job because I can make people smile as they read what I have created.

Lost in an Empty Sea
As a struggling writer and animator I find it hard to enjoy the little things in life. Having next to no money trying to cut a little piece into this world where I can share my work and make a profit on it seems to be getting harder and harder everyday. It feels like on the daily that nobody has time for the regular artist just trying to produce his style or brand of content. Getting seen and getting heard is the struggle for creators combating other creators for slices of pie.

Poetic Justice
I remember feeling confused as a child when noticing the way people felt, versus how they behaved. It was rare that the two actually reflected one another. For me, it was more like if you expressed a feeling--any feeling--there would likely be hell to pay. If you were cowering in fear, small and quiet, you were safer, but not immune. I’m not trying to convince anyone of how bad it was because I lived it, and even I struggle with fully accepting it. Though some may be able to relate, no one else knows what it felt like being in my body. Seeing what I saw, feeling what I felt, hearing what I heard, living how I lived. Cause that's the thing, life is an experience that is different for every person, even if multiple people share the same exact circumstance. If I have pulled you into this truthful tale, then I have successfully shared my creative outlet with you. I’m a storyteller, and while I do enjoy writing of all sorts, I am a poet at heart.

Spiritual Liberation Through Creation
Everyone in life faces some type of stress and pressure whether it be from their job, their family, the world, or even their selves. These stresses and difficult times can be shared by many or by few and bring people together, but the true beauty that can be found in it all lies within how we persevere through it. The struggles and stress are not always fun and, in most cases, can be emotionally and physically draining but when we use our stress and struggles and express it in other outlets, the outcome can be beautiful.

Art is My Sword
My life has shaken the very line where reality teases the mind into questioning how to push through emotions and releasing the burden of holding pain. Some days I question everything and feel so little value in my being here and other days I relish in the amazement of life and all the little moments of happiness. I grew up in Northeast Wisconsin. My family was a tough hard-working driven group of dedicated dreamers. My world began in nature and only continues to be because of my connection to nature and art.

Loud and Quiet at the Same Time
Shelving library books, and blending color into forms with acrylics can’t productively exist at the same time, but for me, they feed each other and allow me to recover from what each one conjures into being. They take turns passing the baton back and forth, in order to keep me in peaceful, buoyant motion as I travel through the sometimes insipid interim world to get from one to the other. I spend my days as a librarian and my nights as a painter. At night, I mix acrylics together in wild combinations to see what they might have to say as they emerge from paint layers and water. In the morning, I am lassoed away from the haze of the previous night’s creative venture, and away from my tangled bedsheets, into a library where its order is the life source of its function. The erratic waves of letting my mind fly through color is resolved as I walk into a world of structure. I find it funny that I was one of the messiest kids in the world, and I decided to become a professional organizer.
