Inspiration from Brooke Shaden

Recently I have come across the most inspiring and motivating young artist/photographer ever: Brooke Shaden.  She would not call herself an artist, but a Fine Art Photographer, but I beg to differ with her on that point.  She has a way of creating the most amazing fantasy art with her camera that I have ever seen.  She has a plan and goes for it.  She makes videos and blogs and encourages others to create and tell their own story constantly.  This young woman has gone against the system and jumped into the field without following the accepted rules.  Artist break the rules all the time, but she is a master at it.  She is phenomenal.

What I have learned from her has renewed my vigor to pursue my passion.  To be creative constantly, to ignore the calendar telling me that my time has passed me by.  To ignore the family telling me that artists never make money, never succeed.  To ignore the teachers and professors saying it has to be done this way and no other.  Who cares?  I feel passionate about art, about my style, about my own life and goals.  Why not pursue them with all I have.  If I don't, who will ever hear my voice.  I will be a passing breeze and then gone.  So I have picked up my pencil and pen, my glue and scraps of paper and again began work on some collages that I so love to work on.
