When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you. There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout: This is me damn it! Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it. My body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay. I'm Woman, a Mother, a Artist and a Photographer. I'm the woman behind the beautiful creations of Eclisse Creazioni Art & Photography. Art has played a role in my life for as long as I can remember. As an artist who loves to capture the uniqueness of the world in photographs, I created Eclisse Creazioni Art & Photography. Throughout life I have been keenly sensitive to the visual world. For me, it comes naturally to "see" the world on a level foreign to most. I am extraordinarily passionate as a person and I find constant inspiration simply by celebrating life and remaining aware with eyes "wide open." The extensive, formal background I have of fine arts is incorporated into this perspective. When I manage to preserve the vastly beautiful and complex images of faces and emotions, I feel for a moment that a breath of eternity has gone through my fingers and will remain on the chosen media.
