Free People Interview

"Creativity to me is like swimming in the sea. Some of us jump in for joy or to cool our bodies on a hot summer’s day, while others swim because the sea calls their name and makes them feel alive. Being creative is not always a choice and joy isn't always a part of the creative process, many times the creative person was born this way and they spend the rest of their lives learning how to make the most out of it."

When we talk about our dreams, we often have no idea if they'll come true or not. I've always had the dream of having my art be loved or noticed by those I admire. There is something special about having somebody you respect turning to you and saying "I believe in you too."

There are so many hours in the life of an artist that nobody ever sees. When the art is appreciated, artists can feel good knowing that every quiet hour or moment spent alone creating their art has been worth it. When you appreciate an artist, not only are you making their day better, you are encouraging their dreams to stay alive, and we all know, an artist without the dream is a house without the home. Don't ever stop saying "I believe in you."

Recently, this dream of being appreciated for my art became a reality when Brigette from Free People asked me to participate in an interview for the Free People blog. I've always loved Free People and I am over the moon to be recognized by them!
