I love ART and it is my opinion that LIFE IS ART. Quite simple really. As I move thru life on a moment by moment basis, I find myself continually creating "art"... in my kitchen, in the garden, in my relationships, etc. Please enJoy my "Art in Clay" at www.beckydennis.com which is a very FULL web site. There are also inSpiring stories at this site that may stir your soul on many levels. I feel like ART has allowed me to work through all kinds of "stuff" in my life and to transmute Pain into JOY. Personally, I am all about moving through the tough things to heal them. There is no doubt that life is filled with suffering and disconnections. For this reason, I work to cultivate a sense of Connection with others, even when it is challenging. At this time, there is even more confusion and illusion, so we have to work harder to find common ground. Recently I heard a woman M.D. that was a brain surgeon say that human Beings are 99.99% the same. For some reason, I found that intriguing. It is only the .01% that distinguishes us as "different" and "unique"... we all long to be unique, but it is an INSIDE job. Then, the beauty radiates outward, from within and can be FELT by others. As the amazing Helen Keller (who You know was blind by the way) once said: "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be FELT in the Heart." Tagore, an eastern philosopher said: "When one Feels Beauty, one KNOWS it as Truth." And so, although I create works of art in clay that are hopefully perceived as beautiful, what is most mystical about my Work is the messages on the back, and the stories that go with them. They find their way home to the person who is meant to have them. I don't care too much about making a ton of money because I measure success very differently from most people. I KNOW that there truly is more than enough for everyone. I am RICH because I have the most amazing partner/husband, a wonderful Home, a great Studio with good light to work in, a beautiful garden and many friends that are amazingly talented,supportive & Loving. I have even survived the WORST national disaster EVER by going thru Katrina and rebuilding everything! That includes rebuilding my parents flooded home and fixing our Home. Each of us is on our own personal JOURNEY.I often tell students that I work with to focus on feeling GOOD, having FUN creating the art, & to NOT be too attached to the outcome. We all get better with practice, persistence, and patience. Obviously I sell my work, so I hold myself to a certain standard of Qualtity, BUT I am the one that measures that. The truth is,all things move through CYCLES. Cycles of birth and cycles of death and it is an INTERCONNECTED Journey. I think that human BEings, including artists,that live without Reverence and Love of Life are potentially dangerous. We must Cultivate more Compassion and Love.
