“True creativity does not come easily; creativity is born of risk and refined from failure.” -Erwin McManus, The Artisan Soul Let us not be confused, creativity is not a gift given to the rare few. Rather, it is a rare few who take the risk to be creative. It’s as if we’ve been playing a game of telephone and during our correspondence our words became misinterpreted. You see, we are all born creators. So why do […]

Empowerment / Self

“Everyone holds his fortune in his own hands, like a sculptor the raw material he will fashion into a figure. But it’s the same with that type of artistic activity as with all others: We are merely born with the capability to do it.

You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair.” –Douglas MaCarthur This year, I truly felt a sense of “coming of age,” which I regard separate from “growing up.” This is because characteristically, I will never lose my jovial youth, it’s just part of who I am. Coming of age for me is an understanding of […]

THE SIREN’S CALL

THE SIREN’S CALL (A modern response to an ancient tale) Run in search of shelter The vast waters call upon As a means to escape the welter, I often become withdrawn  . . . A pattern I reprise A constant need to roam Yet free may I swim, in his aquamarine eyes, A place which binds me home . . . Behind them lies an unspoken deepness The gift of the seas abyss Where freedom […]

“She was free in her wildness. She was a wanderess, a drop of free water. She belonged to no man and to no city.” – Roman Payne   Arsenic Magazine Feature  Photographed: Ev Marquee Hair/MUA: Daisy Palos Elysian Park, Los Angeles. January 2014 As snow falls in New York, it seems as if Summer has arrived in Los Angeles. I arrive in Elysian Park as the sun shines over the City of Angeles. Palm trees […]
