This is the work of Carrie Godwin, our featured artist this week.
She tells us in her own words that she has a strong interest in staying diverse in the arts and feel it balances out the creativity for crossing over techniques into other mediums. Art is a part of my everyday life and I love sharing and teaching others. People have a hard time grasping that I cross mediums instead of focusing on one. Well, both of my parents were very artistic and art instructors and I was told to stay diverse in the arts. I am so thankful. I go in streaks of each of the three mediums-sometimes taking years off in between. The majority of my Metal Clay jewelry is custom orders and for galleries. I work with the customer from a little idea they have and then do drawings of what their idea can be turned into. This is my favorite part of art, helping the idea become a piece of art for the customer. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

As I was writing this for the post, I realized that there are many artists who don't confine themselves to just one media in their art. I know that I have never stayed in one area and perfected that particular art. I rather kind of was a jack of all trades and master of none. Everything that was learned through each experience gets carried over and combined with the new and becomes your own unique form of art. Discovering, researching, and learning is an art in itself. Everyone is creative in their own way
How do you see your creativity? How does that balance your life and work? Would love to hear from all of you---------------------
Stay tuned.
I've always admired those that can do all different types of mediums of art. LOVE this top piece of Carrie's, as well as her colorful, funky studio. I'm looking forward to seeing her owl notecard's - will have to have some of those!
ReplyDeleteYes Barbara I admire those too and she is great. Thanks for helping me make sure this was the way it should be.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most incredible things about Carrie is that she can actually find TIME to apply herself to all her mediums. She is a very talented woman; it must be in the genes!
ReplyDeleteI agree Richard--she indeed is very talented. I think she is an expert at multi-tasking too.
ReplyDeleteCarrie's a great friend too. Oh, and she's a fabulous dog-mom! Her dogs adore her. Want to know something about wire-fox terriers? Just ask Carrie.
ReplyDeleteNow, to your question Lynda... I see my creativity as a completely necessary part of my life. I actually can't live happily, perhaps couldn't even live at all, it I couldn't devote some part of my life to the creation of art or at least the attempts of creating art. Maybe, I should say I feel creativity as a life-blood to me. After God and my family (which includes my artist family at Seranya) creative expression is next on the list of my priorities.
Now, to learn better time management skills so I can give more time to being creative - but that's perhaps another blog....
Have an artful day friends!
I count her among my friends too and I am thankful for that. Everyone at Seranya Studios thanks to our great leader, Susan Radke, has become friends and even more like a family unto itself.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you on part of my life depending on the creative side of my adventures. Life would be so empty without it and I am glad that you feel that same way.
Ah, that time management thing always raises its ugly head doesn't it--always so much one wants to create and so little time.
