Welcome!
Hello and welcome to my art blog! My name is Jane Cobb. It is with a mixture of excitement and trepidation that I invite you to accompany me on this art journey. Excitement because I love looking at art, making it, and sharing it. Trepidation because, well, I'm outing myself and my art processes -- warts and all. The truth is, I have a perfectionist streak that can get in the way of taking risks. During my day job as a psychotherapist, I work with people dealing with a variety of issues and problems -- people who bravely share their vulnerabilities with me. In my time with them, in addition to learning what's not working in their lives, I also want to hear what brings them joy. What are their passions? -- since it's our passions that give us a sense of meaning and motivation in life. In my off hours, as I create with paint, crayons, and markers on paper or canvas, I have the opportunity to witness my own vulnerability and passions. Both my sense of elation and my self-doubts arise.
One thing I've learned as I pursue my path as an artist, is that my love and desire for creating is stronger than my fear. That doesn't mean my fear is nonexistent however! In this blog I will be plunging head-first into both the fear and the joy as I share my art process with you. I'm happy you're coming along for the ride!
All the best and look forward for more art works posted here.
