As a parent, days drift together with hectic schedules and daily obligations. These days drift together and all of the sudden, you look up and your child is already 7. I’m sure in a few years, I have much the same recounting. It really is true that the days go slowly, but the years go fast. I look back on the art work that I’ve made over the last seven years. I look at how the work changed and is still changing. I have had to adjust how to work more than a few times. First, I had to figure out what making art looked like with a life partner. Then, I had to figure out what making art looked like as a mother. All the while, I was maintaining a full time job, and even had a career change in there for fun. So now, I have left the full time jobs working for someone else, and started full time at Potter Art Studio. Again, I find myself trying to figure out what making art looks like. As an artist with a day job, every minute spent in the studio is not to be wasted. (Originally written on December 5, 2018. I did not publish it that day, as it wasn’t until now that I decided to “really start” publishing a blog.)
