creativesontheedge.com is my attempt to unleash all the creative energy and angst that was held in for most of my life.  I’m a creative artist/writer/poet who had some really wonderful children with a good man. Together we chose an ascetic life, until I sort of cracked. Unfortunately, life-long dreams have a way of bullying their way back into a veiled life.

I decided I had to make some radical changes. I started running on a treadmill.  That was where I really started to think again. After my last child was born, I began writing poetry, and tried to draw and paint.

I made choices at that critical time that had heart-wrenching and life-rending consequences. My “simple” life went into a tailspin. The crash was a sad one.

I really do want to feel whole again. My life today continues to be filled with fairly equal amounts of pain and joy as I try to navigate and develop a life on my own. My children are the light in my life, but hurling myself out into oblivion seems an attractive option at times.  There is no turning back.

As I share artwork I’ve made, and rant or rave about whatever, I hope viewers might be interested in commissioning me for portraits, purchasing originals or prints of artwork as I improve, and/or enjoy watching my progress.  Some creatives have a smooth ride into their place in the world.  Some, like me, have a little rougher time of it…

I have long bouts of creative blocks, or boulders, but if you stick with me, I think you will be witness to a notable blossoming.
