It is amazing how many of us do not view what we do as an art form. I have 2 brothers who are artists (in several mediums). I was always in awe of how they could take something plain and create such a masterpiece. For one of them I made a queen size birthday quilt. Simple log cabin in lots of blues because he is basically part of the ocean LOL. He teared up when I gave it to him and told me he had always been amazed at how I took plain fabric and made him his clothes and now this quilt. It hit me like a lightening bolt. This accomplished artist saying this to me! At that point I started to view what I did in a whole different way. And, I believe it was reflected in my work. We are all artists - some better than others, but artists all!!
