Founded in her deviantArt account: why the decision to remove art from here?

I removed it because I'm ashamed of it.

**April 2006 I decided to do something about my weight. It took 10 months to lose 55 pounds and 6 inches of my waist. When that happened I made a goal to get back to cycling and take up running. I tried to get back onto my bike - which is now 18 years old and it didn't work. A new body and old training equipment. I gave up the goal I had and settled for just being in shape. However, after about six months it faded a bit and I struggled to stay as fit as I was. Tomorrow I start a brand spanking new workout program - 12 DVD's, a hefty nutrition guide and lots of support. In 90 days I hope to have abs and I know I will have a brand spanking new bicycle.

Sometimes I believe that artists get into a rut of cranking out cookie cutter images - appeasing themselves of course, but appeasing their audience equally. They don't recognize the rut and/or pretend it doesn't exist so they can continue in their mundane pathway. If art imitates life then there are a lot of predictable, steadfast, risk-less people in this world and I don't want to continue to be one of those people.

I thought it would hurt or pain me to delete all of my artwork from Rosity and PoserPros and 3Dcommune and artzone - here i put everything in storage 'cause it was easier. It didn't hurt. When I deleted the files to my website, i thought i'd be pissed off - but instead - it was kinda fun. So where am I now? I'm right here, with Poser open waiting for me to create something.

The difference is I'm waiting on direction from my "guidance" counselor - the Holy Spirit to direct me how to proceed. I have a feeling I won't be waiting long - 'cause I trust in God and believe that the most successful images have come from Him and not from the gut feeling inside.

No, don't be sorry to see me leave, rejoice that something bigger and more amazing is birthing. It's only a matter of when and how - before where happens.

Change is good, and it hurts. But in the end, only growth can come from it. And that growth is what I desperately need.

**OMG...
