People who know me primarily as a sculptor often raise their eyebrows when they see me immersed in painting. But that's just how I am—I enjoy doing many different creative things all at once. Drawing, painting landscapes & portraits, sculpture, graphics, sewing, dance, swimming, dog racing, horseback riding, fiddle, harmonica, mandolin, and caring for a menagerie of animals have all played their unique roles in shaping the lumpy stew of who I am today.
Some might say I have a touch of ADHD or some other alphabet soup diagnosis. When I was younger, I used to feel a little embarrassed about my inability to be still and focus on just one thing at a time.
As I've journeyed through life, I've come to realize that my constant exploration and experimentation is a vital part of my identity. My regular day is often filled with a cacophony of music and podcasts as I hop from one interest to the next.
I've learned to embrace and cherish all these seemingly random bits that make up the mosaic of my psyche. These aren't just hobbies; they're lifelines to my soul. Over the years, I've discovered that my diverse interests aren't distractions but rather threads that weave the tapestry of my identity. Each passion informs the other.
To all the fellow followers of multi interests, take heart. Embrace the beautiful chaos that is your creative spirit. Don't get pigeonholed into a single box; you are a mosaic of talents. It's the intersection of these seemingly unrelated passions that make us who we are. It’s life worth celebrating in all its diversity.
