Community of Artists

It is easy to feel like you are all alone as an artist, and sometimes, that feeling is just what you want to have as evidenced by some of the remarks from the last blog.
But, for those times when your spirits could use a lift or you have run out of ideas and just don't know where to turn next, finding and being a part of an artist community fills the other need in you.
One thing I love about Artist communities is that they transcend boundaries, young and old, men, women, rich, poor, none of these things really matter when it comes to being involved in an artist community. The only thing that matters is art and how to present that art to the world for their enjoyment.
In being among your "tribe" your soul can sing and reach new heights. Just last week at Seranya Studios Art Boutique, www.seranya studios.com I met one of the artists that belongs to this community. This was the first time I met her and by the end of a few hours we felt as if we were "soul sisters" in so many ways. Often, the "outside" life of the artist also gels with yours. These are truly fulfilling times. This particular artist is Karen Crown and you can see some of her work with her glass beads at Seranya Studios. Her
use of the glass beads is very unique and exciting.
Every artist within this community brings their own special talent, personality and love of all kinds of art to the group. This is a place where you can truly feel "at home" when the rest of the world has turned on its side.
Do you belong to an artist community and if so, can you share with us your thoughts on that feeling of "belonging?"


Stay tuned.
