Awkward But Good: Thoughts Of An Introverted Artist

Awkward But Good: Thoughts Of An Introverted Artist

As I sit here I’m struggling to find words. I know the things I’d like to discuss, but how to arrange the words in an appealing manner? In a way that will gain interested followers? Grab attention and support? More sales? Interest agents? Blah blah blah!

Here I am with a piece I created this past Christmas

I just want to be me and create art! I don’t want to have to think constantly about gaining followers, everchanging algorithms, or how I’m going to sell my work to better support my family. It’s so stressful, frustrating, tiring!

I’ve never felt like a salesperson and I am most definitely an introvert. Or at least, I like to avoid drama. I love my peace. I’m just kind of awkward. I don’t always know the right things to say and my face usually shows my feelings. So if I feel awkward, I can’t seem to hide that fact. And I’ve been told people think I’m unreal, until they get to know me. But that’s me! I’m real! That’s my reality. Both kind and awkward! Awkward but good!

When I’m not painting, I also like to do photography

At any rate, I wanted to talk about a couple of things I have in the works in the coming months. But I’ve been kind of just taking it easy since Christmas. I worked my bahookie off last year and pushed super hard at the end of the year. I just needed to catch my breath and reset. Literally!

All dressed up for my Artist Of The Month video interview (I didn’t faint! Thank goodness!)

I’m still creating and am making plans for the coming months. But I’m also just trying to be more relaxed. After catching a cold recently, I’m still struggling to breathe. My asthma has been flaring up and it’s kicking my tail. I’m ready for cold and flu season to be over, that’s for sure!

In the next week or two I’ll have the video from my interview with Mansfield Commission For The Arts regarding my being chosen as February’s Artist Of The Month. So stay tuned for that, friends! Until then, take care. I hope you’re doing well and finding joy and peace in this oftentimes chaotic world.

Thank you for reading my blog! I hope you’ll subscribe. I deeply appreciate it!
