“In the desire to find the new, do we also mourn the old,
the left-behind places?” —Liz Ruest

For years I have been trying to find the balance between the whirlwind of excitement that comes with every new milestone in my job with the desire to be still and quiet and ponder. For me it is the balance between ‘busy’ and ‘creative’. As grateful as I am to have the opportunity to work a non-traditional job as a performing artist, I miss the creative freedom to produce all of the visual work that consumes my quieter hours. Today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Liz Ruest, captures that struggle for me. Can we move forward while looking backward?
