Life of an Artist

4/22/2015

0 Comments

 
Being an artist is challenging, at least for me. I am not blessed to be in a position to be a full time artist. My life is good but not without it’s challenges. Still I do not regret the path I have chosen. I work hard and try not to let the thing that brings me a joy nothing else can, (making art), be put too far on the back burner. I have learned that one has to live and experience life to make art. My work has definitely transformed over time due to my experiences, what I have been exposed to and learned. I have often struggled between what is art and what is craft as I have tried to explore new materials. But what matters in the end is that I create. That all artists create. And so with the daily struggles of my complicated life, I will never stop creating. Whether it is seen through social media or an exhibit or only delights me hanging in my living room, I will continue to explore the variety of materials I find, transforming them into works of art.

    Welcome!

     I'm Jennifer Nichols, a mixed media artist from North Carolina. I enjoy capturing the essence of nature through a variety of materials. I incorporate found objects such as strainers and bottle caps into my work. I am drawn to these items but it is also important to me to do my part to protect our environment by keeping things out of the land fill. 

    My blog is designed for art appreciators as well as artists. Everyone enjoys learning about the process an artist goes through when creating. And because I think there is a spark of creativity in all of us, I enjoy sharing tips or information that may help you on your creative journey.

    Thank you for stopping in to read a post or two. Feel free to leave a comment or contact me with feedback or questions. Come back soon to check out my next post!
