I feel so conflicted about Instagram

I feel so conflicted about IG… I find it a bit exhausting, but I also see how important it is for my work. At the same time, I want to be more personal, but for some reason, I never have the energy. So, it just ends up being some kind of portfolio, which is sooooooo boring!

The thing is, during all my waking hours, I’m either working or thinking about creativity and making things, I even dream about it when I sleep. And I feel like that should be reflected on my page. I think that’s also why my account has been so quiet lately.

So, I’m going to rethink how I post here.

Right now, outside of work, I’m taking a small art history course on early modernist art in Europe around the turn of the century. I absolutely love it, the discussions are amazing. Imagine getting to be in Paris at that time and feeling those artistic shifts!

Yesterday, I sat down and tried to paint as loosely and imperfectly, with explosive colors, as Matisse did. So here it is, along with the start of me sharing more of my creative everyday life.
