Don’t Stress A Break
House Wren
Good Morning! It can be extremely hard to take a break and not constantly bombard yourself with guilt. But its so necessary. In a way a break is almost work, because your working towards a recharge (it made sense in my brain:) ). That is my awkward segue into finally having the motivation to get this website rolling and also those spontaneous urges to create are coming back. Maybe its the sun or the birds singing, maybe it was the constantly reminding myself to enjoy a break and that my world isn’t falling apart from slowing down. I don’t know, I’m happy, excited and motivated.
The picture is a House Wren that I recently did for Teachers Appreciation week.

So this year I’ve decided to take a step back and focus on fundamentals like branding and who am I really. My art biz journey began with me going “hey people like my stuff, lets go”. And that works for a bit but then while doing shows and getting more exposure to other artists it kinda sent me through a loop. Like this is how my booth should look, no wait this is what my booth should be, these should be my colors, wait should it, I dunno. After a few years I’ve felt a little lost, like who is TarynKart. Usually my art is spontaneous and just what I’m feeling but when trying to create a general brand/niche/concentration how do you define that? Just me? Feels chaotic and open ended especially when building a website around it. I’ve also come to realize (you might have noticed in my store) that that spontaneity leaves what art I do have all over the place and not really much of a theme or gallery.
Anyways its been a slow (sometimes frustratingly) and trusting that with time and creativity things will become clear. Has anyone else felt like this or having similar struggles?
