“I'm truly blessed to be doing what I've always wanted - CREATE. I have found a freedom that is hard to put into words. I always wondered about my projects - which artists are working on what, and which directions should I take? I don't even think of those things now. I passionately go into my studio and ask myself, what would I like to create today?” ThinkingShouldHardTodayWantedArtistAsksFoundProjectsBlessedStudiosShould I Author:Steve Kaufman
