Your description of the studio you visited in Paris sounds like you’re describing my own. And I also tried making little collages on a trip to the UK in 2022. It got too hectic to keep it up but I got a couple completed in my sketchbook. I’ll be out of the country this summer again and hope to at least collect materials, even if I don’t do much making as I travel. Thank you for all the inspiration! ✂️

Making art is so essential to an Artists lifeblood. Dramatic, yes, but it’s true.

I didn’t discover this until I was 62. I took a welding class. My instructor gave me the title of “ Your an Artist.” When I finally gave in and submitted my work to a few galleries it was accepted and sold! To my amazement!

I’m now 75 and am able to say those words...I’m an Artist.

Keep repeating and affirming yourself.

Art comes in all forms, decorating your home, dressing yourself, arranging food, painting, collages, metal art, ect.

Working with your hands to create. Never diminish your gift, play, cultivate and create.

For me it’s a placeholder in my life.

Thank you for your art, this space, and sharing.
