Chasing the light is a journey all artist's take....we don't paint shapes, we paint the values of light and shadow.  Similarly, part of the journey is shining the light on our true selves.....being and saying and thinking who we truly are and what we truly want to express.  When we chase our authticity, we become aligned with our true higher power, and creative grace flows freely.   A sustained creative career requires true authenticity separate from what others think and do.  Although we may be inspired and influenced by others we must remain true to the fire within.
