Thank you so much!

I visit Creative Thursday every day of the week (not just on Thursdays) to keep in touch with my friend Marisa and to see what she's up to. Marisa is such a positive force, it's refreshing to visit a blog like hers because she strives to keep moving forward and push over any barriers in order to succeed as an independent artist because she loves her work and won't let anything or anyone stop her from painting for a living. Creative Thursday is also written from the heart, her posts are sincere she comes from a humble place. I highly suggest reading her blog if you are an emerging independent artist looking for inspiration from a fellow creative soul. Marisa did some major career hopping before finding her path as a painter -- she not only found her calling, but she earns a very good living as a full-time artist from licensing, gallery work, her etsy store, workshops she conducts on creativity, custom work for clients, the list continues to grow. How amazing is THAT!? And though I'm gushing I know but I am very proud of Marisa and the progress she continues to make.

I love Becky and her voice. Fantastic blog.
