About Me

My photo
I am an artist, a wife, a mother, a friend, a deviant and a special education teacher. I say artist first because I cease to be sane if i don't work on my art, seriously, I have to go into therapy... My work is an evolution of my experiences and philosophy. It spans multiple mediums and subjects, most recently focusing on the balance of expression and form. I spend a lot of time on chaos theory and macro/micro theory. The theory of balance and entropy in the universe fuels my inspiration. I love movies and philosophy, sometimes spiraling into deep conversations about both. These are my musings and thoughts, as well as insight into my artistic process and my work View more at: GoldenSpiralDesigns.deviantart.com redbubble.com/people/caitlinpadilla

sleep aids

been having trouble sleeping lately... not really sure why. i have embarked on a new chapter in my artistic career, and it is very interesting, time comsuming but exciting. i have started making greeting cards with prints of my work. it is going well and i like the quality. i really like to branch out and this is a new venture for me. i don't really know anyone else in my position, so i am kind of learning as i go. i have not been working on anything new in a number of months, it feels strange, but i have been so focused on the business aspect that it hasn't been as bad as when i have taken a break before. i went out to vegas earlier this month and made a lot of progress. i really liked the artists i met, and i feel confident about setting up shop for the first fridays. it is going to take a lot of work, which i am up for, however, i still have this nagging feeling of waiting. i want to be there now, because i feel that the distance and solitary lifestyle will really help. the seclusion is something i have thought about a lot. i will be away from family, friends, familiar places and routines, all of which i am fine with. being away from jon, my husband, is what i have had trouble with. i think it will be productive, but i don't know what i will feel after a month, or two. i have never had a problem with independence, i know i will be fine, i have never been great with change though. my work is constantly changing, getting better and evolving so i'm sure this will change it again. so i've been having trouble sleeping.
