A Standard Blank Book

 A Standard Blank Book        by Crystal Neubauer
4" x 4" collage matted and mounted in 11" x 14" frame

In letting go of the traditional career path and embracing the passionate pursuit of an artists life I am facing each day without a script. The old life felt as if I were a poorly cast understudy suddenly thrust on stage and unable to remember my lines. Now I write my own story, each day is a new page in a standard blank book waiting for me to make my mark.

Thank you for the share! I have just quit my day job to follow this non-traditional path myself. It is a bit of a transition.
