I have lived in the small, rural community of Claiborne
Parish my whole life… all 56 years… except for a couple of rebellious years
when I was in college and first married. So can someone tell me why I have
never noticed the plethora of creative activities that are found right here
under my nose in the midst of the magnificent piney woods that surround my old
stomping ground? It must be like
that old quote “If a tree fell in the forest, but there was no one around to
hear it, would it make a sound?”
Even though, we all know it would indeed make a sound, it just goes
unnoticed. That is exactly what
has happened to the wealth of creativity found in Claiborne Parish – it has
remained unnoticed. This is
probably due to the hectic lifestyles we all lead today. We simply do not have the time to look
around and see what is literally right in our own backyards. It is my desire through this website,
not only, to open my own eyes to the abundance of creative activities found
within this small, rural community, but to open the eyes of others that may be
interested in unveiling the hidden arts that are found around us, but up until
this time have remained hidden in plain sight.
