Step Back From Life's Canvas

In life it is extremely important to express yourself and if you explore as many different avenues of expression as possible each will enrich your journey towards self-awareness. I know it works for me. I have stayed on an artistic path most of my life - I am an Actress, Dancer, Writer as well as a Painter. I enjoy and pursue each passionately but painting is different - when I'm standing (or sitting) in front of a canvas with a brush full of paint in my hand I become absolutely, unapologetically insular. I love stepping in front of a blank canvas NOT knowing what I will create. I cherish it because, for me, it's the one artistic activity where I can completely get lost within myself.
