Good art makes me think, feel and question

I'm learning that you never know what you'll learn from participating in a sale. Yesterday was my first-ever trunk show, where a group of artisans were invited to display their work at gallery. First off- I'm not comfortable calling myself an artist - I'm far from my definition of an artist. What's that, you ask? It's hard to define in words, but I know what good art does to me - it makes me feel; it makes me think; it makes me question. I do know some fabric artists whose work DOES deserve to be called art.I don't think my work is yet to that caliber; however it is something I strive toward. On Saturday, I will be a participant in another show "Fight Like a Mother." More on that later this week. So- what did I learn yesterday?
Commitment to the process and having the faith in karma that creativity will take you where you need to go.
I'm having a great time,and I thank Jessica at Regla De Oro gallery for giving me the opportunity to grow. Also thank you to Nina from 4 Angels Creations. Her journey as an artist is as inspiring as her work.
