Inside of me the river courses, over rocks, against roots, moving, carrying and changing -
ever changing but most definitely returning to the sea. Washing and ever-wearing all that is in it’s path. Purification they call this, the cleansing of the soul.

Three weeks ago now, I saw inside myself that it was time to let go of Art as a profession. And like 2 babies that were born at the same time, I knew in that moment that my next step was to help women express the Beauty, Truth and Strength of their essential being through the way they create and present themselves. Think “personal revelation meets personal style“. There is huge freedom when our clothes and personal appearance speak and share the Divine Nature of our Heart.

This change of heart came as a surprise to me. I thought that I was going to live out my days as a professional artist. Truth be told, I was relieved. It was hard trying to make art assembly-line style and then hope the right people would connect with it and buy it. I am happier without the constant pressure to produce and I feel more space to be creative with my children and in my home.

As far as the Personal Style part goes, I have been just as interested in clothes in my life as I have been in art. I have had dreams and fantasies about clothes for as long as I can remember. Pieces so amazing and moving that I have wanted to take them out of my imagination and bring them into the world.

Now that I’ve let the cat out of the bag, I want to liquidate my stock of artwork, effective immediately. If you’ve ever wanted any of my artwork but felt it was out of your range, now is your chance. All artwork is 50% off the marked price. Buyer to pay for shipping. Shop Art for Sale to see all available pieces.

My website address, blog and subscription information will all remain the same but the site will morph to meet my new needs. I’m not sure how all this will go,,, I’m just following my heart. Thanks for listening. xo Latifah
