It only seems appropriate!

Went to the movie Julie/Julia.. It only seems appropriate to go to the computer after that movie. It was fantastic and in some respect I find myself in a very similar situation as Julia.. anyways. I chose my focus to remain on furniture, since it is what has been my passion all through life. When I thought I wanted to be in interior design student the one thing that kept me in it was the furniture. I would sketch chair after chair, couch after couch. I have an odd fascination in my art work with tactile features and texture. In sculpture class I always sculpted furniture. As the years have passed I have a deeper appreciation for more detailed woodworking and furniture, bringing me to Victorian, French Country style.

Over all I have had this evolution of a love for furniture without ever really being aware of 'it' being the thing that pulled me into all sorts of art mediums. I am fortunate enough to be taking a class on learning how to upholster. I think it will compliment my woodworking skills very nicely. I choose to be a person that does not give up on my dream and what really makes me tick and smile on the inside.

For this movie I challenge everyone that is finding them self in a hard place in life and see it, if it can only bring you the motivation it has brought me this evening.



Thank you to Julia and Julie.

in the change of things. For the good.

It seems to be a moment where I am at a loss for words. Knowing that there are some things in life that need a change to be at our strongest.

I am not even going to try, but change is a comin'
