Because of the years spent creating in a vacuum , I am bursting with ideas and the desire to reach out , be seen and interact with other artists . Becoming part of a community of artists , especially encaustic artists , has been very fulfilling and beneficial in establishing myself as a working artist and teacher . I love feeling a part of a large magical group of people who are always there to encourage , share , and support , all of whom embrace their vulnerability with honesty and celebration on an ongoing basis , reassuring me that through our vulnerability we have a sense of worthiness and connection which is the gift we were born with unconditionally .
