Permission to Create

You have permission to create – you’ve had it all along. It’s yours to take, not someone else’s to withhold or to give, as if you had no agency or free will.

Monette Lassiter Satterfield - Artist, Author, and Modern Day Muse - not as fickle as the ancient Muses, but still dangerous...

A Whole New World! This is what a canvas usually A Whole New World!
This is what a canvas usually looks like when I feel it's ready for a new creature to live in it. The 
next step on this mixed media work in progress is to draw and then paint the next strange

That's what it feels like when one of these strange creatures comes into being in my studio. This fellow still needs a fair amount of work to be finished and bring his full personality out.
