Aspirations

I would like to create more of my own books, do more paintings and sculptures, do a lot more art just for art's sake. And if I wasn't a "starving artist" (in other words, if some how I come into a large amount of disposable income) I would create a children's art charity where budding young artists of families struggling to make ends meet could go to do traditional art and get free art supplies. I'd also would love to own a large track of picturesque Arizona land where I could create an artist ranch. A place with several individual studios and a main gallery. A place where emerging artists could come and stay for a few weeks to find inspiration and solitude. I would also like to have my very own studio/gallery/art shop. (Oh, to think what I could do if I could just find the time and resources to match my imagination.)
