Last night I went out in public and showcased my work for the first time!!!! Don't laugh. it took 18 months of playing and getting dirty being creative to finally get out from behind the internet and physically show what I do. I was nervous, anxious and full of self doubt until I did it. With the support of family and some fabulous friends I went from 'why am I doing this' to 'when can I do this again'. I met some wonderful interesting people who were drawn to my work. In particular one beautiful lady who recently lost her mum is keen to work with me to create something special with some 4 leaf clovers her mum had found and kept for years. A gorgeous young man who wants matching spoon rings for him and his sister before she goes overseas. It made me realise that what I have been doing for years through art is what many people appreciate, creating memories and connections, gifts for and from the heart. It was so rewarding to look at the expressions on strangers as their eye travelled across the display and their eyes lit up when something 'spoke' to them. I am grateful to RAW Natural Born Artists for finding me and pushing me outside. Look out world, I have been released (and Refreshed).
RAW Gold Coast is approaching
RAW as been great for me. When I first got the email I was pretty chuffed to say the least that someone other than family and friends valued what I've been creating. Ok I can hear the life coaches and therapists saying you don't need valuation of others to value yourself but it sure does boost you when it happens. It has also energised me and given me the kick up the rear to take this Refresh Me project to the next level.
Would love to see you there on the 4 Aug. Every artist (and there are 47 of us visual and performing so lots to see) is obligated to sell 20 tickets by 30 July to ensure the event is a success. Rent a crowd helps us all and it's nice to realise that I'm not the only creative one who is in this position.
So if you can get yourself off the couch for one night and come along I'd like to thank you by giving you a $10 Refresh Me voucher to spend at my showcase on the night💖. Just select Refresh Me in the drop down menu when you purchase your $20 ticket. 😀 Kids 12 and under are free.
Tell your friends, family......see you there
