Vision board on the back of my journal, April 2016.
As an artist, I have artwork all over my condo and my classroom. I often have several works in progress, at various stages of completion, going on at any one time. So, the idea of taking time out to create a vision board creates mixed feelings for me. I, sometimes, think that I don't need that, as I'm a rather goal oriented person. Then again, there's a feeling of satisfaction when I see it in the midst of busyness or overwhelm. It reminds me that I'm heading in the right direction.
My latest vision board is a collage on the back of my journal. My students see it on my desk and think it's just the "coolest." It spawns conversation about my work as a glass artist. Having those conversations tends to excite both of us, student and teacher. And, motivates me to turn to creating when life seems heavy.
My collage includes one of my favorite pictures of me in the hot glass studio with my father as my assistant. We were at The Chrysler Museum of Glass Hot Shop in Norfolk, VA. The bottom image is of my home studio, where I create my fused glass artwork, outside of Denver, CO.
