Messy tote with a bouquet of roses, eucalyptus, stock, statice and pine. 2015
For the past 6 months I’ve been directing all my creativity towards my job at the flower shop. This has helped me excel greatly as a florist but I’ve been neglecting all other methods of creation. Flowers are my life but they limit you in your expression. I can’t attach the words and images and depth of my mind into flowers. When you’re working with flowers, it’s never about you. It’s impersonal. Each bloom is unique, has its own story, it was brought to life by no artist but Mother Earth. Every time I make a bouquet I think of it as a piece of art that I’ve created, I just don’t get to put my name on it. Someone will buy it and give it to their sister or their lover and the story of the hands that assembled the flowers is lost. When I make my art, i need to inject it with my own meaning and emotions and spirituality, that is the only way I can feel satisfied with my work. So I think it would be a healthy move for me to focus equally as hard on my personal art as I do on the flower shop.

i’m really not sure how to feel comfortable sharing anything i do. i’m not sure how to penetrate my own walls that I have created in the past to protect myself. I always think about how i’ve drawn 1000′s of pictures that no one will ever see. Is that right? Am I ok with it? I don’t do anything to change it. It’s not natural for me to share myself. I could benefit from pushing myself out of my comfort zone. I know it, we all know it. I asked my cards how I could save myself and I pulled The Hanged Man. So basically I need to get in touch with why i’m feeling restricted and break my bad habits. Hiding is a very bad habit of mine. I need to be vulnerable and open in order to grow.

I made an amateur 12 page book of fast spontaneous drawings, originally planning to maybe sell it but I like it so much that I might be selfish and keep it.
