It is true, at that age you want to be everything your parents aren\u2019t. \u00a0As I grew a older, I seasoned into appreciating creativity, my own ability, and grew to understand art as a lifestyle. \u00a0It is more than just being creative on canvas, it is about being open to possibilities; being three dimensional in thinking\/perspective and understanding, being honest and forgiving of imperfections, and mostly about being fearless in the face of \"nothingness\u201d which is the path to any creation. \u00a0I am talking about living beliefs which are translations from the world of an artist as I was taught\u2026 it would be hard to live life peacefully without the serenity of these concepts whether they be art related or not. \u00a0I am now in harmony with my urges to paint, my urges to socialize with my friends, my urges to shop etc. etc. etc. although at times ideas roar in my head...it is like hearing voices ... painting quiets my racing imagination (as does shopping by the way!). \u00a0It\u2019s what every artist lives with I am sure. \u00a0I can distinguish that side of myself from the side that is more practical in my daily living ...practicality is my father's influence. \u00a0My mother is a left-brain right brain artist...I would imagine that is like being \u201cdouble jointed\u201d in her mind\u201d. \u00a0I am like her; I am my mother\u2019s child. \u00a0So when my imagination races to be creative, then \u00a0I cave to the urge and \u201cbinge\u201d paint ...and when I put it aside, I know it is only in temporary hibernation\u2026you see my mother subliminally instilled these arts concepts \"in my brain\" my entire life... she gave me a working belief system and a lifestyle, the same one she practices. \u00a0I can now live with all my compulsions and urges of an artist by turning everything in my life into something positive. \u00a0I have made peace living in dual <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">harmony with \u201cthe real world\u201d and with the one I can create. \u00a0It has now become my new religion so to speak. My painting style varies from minimalist to vibrant bursts of mixed media abstractness...I have not settled into one \u00a0media or style. I am still young and learning but I simply like painting because it helps me releases something within myself ...and each meaning is based on emotion\u2026from serenity to the violent moods of color. \u00a0My mother believes being creative isn\u2019t just about \u201cart\u201d but about the evolutionary process and ability to create opportunity in spite of adversity, so in that interpretation I appreciate everyone\u2019s version of creative ability and understand that everyone derives the same feelings of satisfaction in spite of talent\u2026. isn\u2019t that really how it should be? In saying that, my hope is the viewer enjoys my own evolution as I do.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I derive my greatest inspiration from my two beautiful sons and my loving partner Rob, who nurtures inspiration and advocates for my numerous transitions.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">SHOP MY STORE:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/poshmark.com\/closet\/sk06863\" target=\"_blank\">POSHMARK<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pittsburghartistregistry.org\/accounts\/view\/sashakaclik\" target=\"_blank\">Pittsburgh Artist Registry<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-236-0-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div class=\"textwidget\"><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/svelteluxury.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SVELTE LUXURY<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/poshmark.com\/closet\/sk06863\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PoshMark<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/poshmark.com\/listing\/Artisan-Gold-Wooden-Ball-Bracelet-Handmade-5546fd12bab32d11bc00cc8b?campaign_id=708464635&amp;gclid=CLvJ8cm999ACFVdMDQodJp0Dzw&amp;utm_source=gretdm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Florida Recycled on POSHMARK<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Artistic Category: Painter, Ceramics, Jewelry Design, Fashion, Interior Design, Career Level: Emerging Experienced with Special Events- Fashion, Jewelry Design, Art Sales and Management Florida Recycled, Commissions, For-Hire Services Interior Design Sasha Florida Kaclik \/ Artist Statement:I started painting and pottery when I was 17. \u00a0I come from a family of artists, which at 17, is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":207,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-full-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-236","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/floridarecycled.com\/\/oldWebsiteCopy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/floridarecycled.com\/\/oldWebsiteCopy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/floridarecycled.com\/\/oldWebsiteCopy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/floridarecycled.com\/\/oldWebsiteCopy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/floridarecycled.com\/\/oldWebsiteCopy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/floridarecycled.com\/\/oldWebsiteCopy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/236\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1821,"href":"https:\/\/floridarecycled.com\/\/oldWebsiteCopy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/236\/revisions\/1821"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/floridarecycled.com\/\/oldWebsiteCopy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/floridarecycled.com\/\/oldWebsiteCopy\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
