You Can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.
-Maya Angelou
Artist
What's in a name ?
It took me a long time to say I am an artist. I started out proclaiming in first grade that I wanted to be an artist when I grew up. College found me saying I was studying to be an artist. The years between college and moving to Butte I was working at trying to be an artist.
Butte has a way of making all things possible. People in the past identified and were proud of their professions. The embossing on the brass drain in my claw foot bathtub proclaims "Krueger the Plumber" as its maker. The antique store owner was "Tony the Trader" and now, I am, "Toni the artist."

Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
