Intriguing... that might merit a visit. I also wish I'd known of this panel discussion-- sounds like it would have been valuable. Ah, well. Hope you enjoyed your visit to the Queen City!

I have a tendency to look at other fantastic work out there and get a bit discouraged with my work. Then I realize that I have my own voice, and that I just need listen to it. I believe directions and goals are just part of the process and growth of an artist. It's another "voice" that makes you look at hour work in a different way. Thanks for sharing!

But also feeling excited realising that it's ME at the reigns. But you know they say (and I wouldn't know first hand because I haven't been there, yet) but they say when you have a baby your whole world flips and perspectives change. Maybe hang tight and see what happens? Yes I know what you mean, as an independant creative I sometimes find myself looking for goals and feeling a bit lost as far as direction.
