The rewards of mentorship

I am doing a series of coaching sessions with Tory Hughes as I make this big leap in to full time art and she is, as the great guide that she is, pushing me in intriguing new directions.

While my status as a full time professional artist is new, the seeds of my vision have been planted over many decades and widely varied experiences. IT and business analytics have clearly shaped my thinking and habits, while my love of wide open spaces has been a balm to my electron shocked nerves.

This piece is one that I feel captures this balanced tension between the sides of my life. Because of the guidance and exercises I have been going through, I understand far better WHY it works for me and how it came to be as an expression of where I am right now in my creative development.
