I think at times we as artists try to hold back our work from the world. Either worrying about what someone might say or we might just be waiting for the perfect piece to show the world. I think that this course of action misses the point of the what art is all about. Art is freedom. It is presenting a piece of ourselves, as we stand in the moment – warts and all! The whole key to art is unencumbered expression. When I see people withholding something they are dying to express it is ‘such a shame’ on so many levels. Both the audience and the person doing the producing are missing out on the experience of receiving and giving. Please don’t be bashful when it comes to your work. How many manuscripts have been written that are lying in a closet somewhere. How many beautiful paintings are sitting in someones basement, collecting dust. There is no shame in presenting yourself boldly to this world. It is a shame to never have had the opportunity to show the world what you really can do.

Don’t be shy when it comes to expressing your talents to the world.

Artistic expression is all about creating without inhibition.
