Just being heard

We all have a voice and should use it in both words and our art. You should never worry that someone wont like what you say or do because simple fact is you will always find someone that does not like something AND you will always find those of us that do. So you have to be selfish and do what makes you happy and let everything else fall into place as it will. Arts and crafts are windows into us and I believe that sometimes people do not like what they see because it makes them feel vulnerable. Artist allow our souls to shine, to be free and to see beauty in even the most ugly of things. Look at the Mona Lisa painting it's worth big $$$ and yet its ugly! Sorry Mona! : ) But hey as a fellow artist you can see the beauty in the brush strokes and how the artist lets you see inside him through his work. So what I'm trying to say is you have to just let go and put yourself out there. Be heard.
