Writing my Artist Biography

redtop (2)

Last month, I was told to have my artist biography available for tomorrow. Today, I woke up made breakfast, painted, started laundry, checked my email, checked Twitter, checked Facebook then made a cup of coffee, watched Good Morning America, cleaned the living room, cooked lunch and then started my artist biography.

“What the hell is wrong with me? Why can’t I just sit down and type this out? It is not rocket science.”

The truth is, “I don’t know.” I always make great strides and then freeze. Yep, that is me. I am sitting on the edge of greatness. Oh, yes, let me catch you up. I am going to have some of my art work for sale at the “Holidaze Gallery” at Artspace in Shreveport, LA. I am so stoked! But, yes, big But… I am afraid of what if I say or write something wrong? What if I offend someone? What if someone likes it and I have to talk. Damn it! I am a writer and painter, I don’t talk. Pft…talking that is so 2010. Maybe I could act like I have a cough? Then I could wear one of those little hospital masks and mumble, or maybe I could just talk… hmmm…. That is weird. I never know what is going to fall out of these lips. Well, either way, I did finish my artist biography. Now, I am on my way to Holidaze. I guess I just have to be willing to make those mistakes in order to move forward. Come visit me, make fun of me, bring me a hospital mask, buy some of my art or just come. I will be at the opening on November 16 and throughout the holidays. Shoot me a message.
