I have a kind of self-created routine. It's true... I treat it seriously, like a job. I go to my studio, with latte and salad in hand, and spend a bulk of hours focusing intensely, working on my piece of art. I leave home chores and wife responsibilities and grandma thoughts behind. I work. I think and do art all day. To me it is delicious. It feeds me.

I am fortunate to have this luxury, of a studio outside of my house, that I dreamed of for so many years. Being now retired, it is a blessing to have the time to concentrate on my work as opposed to multi-tasking at work or home. For so many years I worked on my art "on the fly", in between regular life, on the side. Now, my regular life IS my art life.

I am satisfied and fulfilled and productive and even social with other artists everyday. I follow my own schedule. I make my own choices. I express myself. I have a freedom that comes with age and experience, to "act out" when, how and why I want. Lucky me!
