Wide Open Course: Need

July 7, 2015 by riasharon

This is my response for Day 1 of the Wide Open eCourse. The subject: Lost. You can follow the body of work for this class with #wideopencourse on Instagram.

This was tougher for me to discern — not that I don’t need. I do. But is it time? Stillness? Space? Calm? Peace? There are so many things that I need… I would never be able to pick just one for my luxury item on Survivor! ;P

After contemplating this for much of today, I’ve decided vulnerability requires a need that I feel guilt or shame to admit; something I need and yet another part of me judges for needing. You know, all the others are “acceptable needs” or “of-course-don’t-we-all” needs. So… the need that I reject is: BEAUTY.

A little about me

I have an undergraduate degree in art. By day, I work in higher ed and in my free time I'm currently putting myself through DIY grad school.

I teach classes on creativity and inspiration on Skillshare. I occasionally share my original paintings on Etsy and fine art prints on Minted. I've also been known to make puppy portraits.
