Visual artists will paint what they see in 1,832 words! Here’s the backstory!

Any creative person dab at hand, as the English say, does not like stagnation. It’s exciting to step into something new and untried before. Last summer, I wrote a short story I was especially proud of. The storyline came to me quickly and then came the real epiphany – it’s time to do something different with one of my narratives. Even though it’s scary because the project would be uncultivated grounds for me, it’s not reason enough not to see what can develop out of it. We never know what can become of things if we don’t take chances in life.

I tested the waters by having a few select people read the short story and the feedback propelled me to take the next leap of faith as a writer. Long story short, I have asked a small group of visual artists to join me. Why? Because collaboration helps us to grow. All agreed to take a leap of faith with me and let our collaborative inner creative lead the way.

I am excited about the year in front of me. I am grateful for the painters who have jumped on board with this project. I have specifically chosen each individual for several reasons – I like what they bring to their canvases and I enjoy the energy they bring to their own individual artistic pursuits. Soon, I will reveal the participating visual artists and more about the project, which is still developing. It will unfold in some way during the season of renewed energy.
