Lately we've been discussing the changes that artist's go through, and what happens during this process, how hard it sometimes is. Especially if you've sold a body of work, and now you're onto something else. This is a necessary and painful process. If you're not careful, your work can become stuck and stagnate. But I want to remind folks that the artists' life is about creativity, not about making a "product". If you find you own a piece of a series, and that series ends, the value of that artwork has just increased. You have to be strong when you are unsure where you are headed. The road ahead is unclear, and wonderful.

change is a tough road
