braving the web

The idea of building a website to share my art has felt intimidating as fuck. Who am I to be sharing my art so boldly and with such audacity? Is my art even worth the time and expense? These have all been questions I’ve pondered as I set about building this space.

And really, in the end, it doesn’t matter whether the art is “good” or whether people like it. What matters is that I’m proud of what I’m creating here. And I want to share it. Pushing myself to put my art out in places where more people can see it encourages me to grow my talents, develop my ideas, and really think about what it is I’m trying to accomplish in my paintings.

If I’m too afraid to share it, to grow, to learn, then why create?

Hopefully this space will help me improve as an artist, and find community with those who enjoy art.
