Thankful {things I love} Thursday ...

...Thankful for  all the little treasures on my sparrow studio altar

Art

for me

is like

breathing

"Art enable us

to find ourselves

and lose ourselves

at the same time"

~Thomas Merton~

"If you ask me

what I came to do in this world,

I, an artist, will answer you:

I am here

to live

out loud"

~Emile Zola~

"Artists feel what they're carrying and feel it vividly.

In order to make their art

they must find their edges

and soften there.

Art {like love} was never about safety.

To love an artist

is to fall into a sea

of deep

soulful

courageous

wild living"

~Victoria Erikson~

"I am an instrument

in a shape

of  a woman"

~Adrienne Rich~
