Authentically Tess

I tend to refrain from calling myself a painter because I genuinely have no idea what I’m doing with myself half the time. Perhaps that feeling will go away with time, but I believe it’s pretty common for most artists to feel like this.

I’d rather call myself an artist. If you’ve been following me a while you know I started this page with the intent to post my jewelry, which I am still interested in. I just find that my interests are so spread out creatively that I can’t limit myself to one thing or another. I may never master painting or clay jewelry or anything else I try, but I still have fun and couldn’t survive without being creative.
