It was while I was cooking that it hit me, I needed to rebrand myself. I had put it off for years at this point and had all the excuses for sticking with my old brand. I didn't have time, energy, or the desire to rebrand. What I had was working well enough for me and I was too established to change it. But those excuses were weak and I realized that before I hadn't had a true path or vision for my work. that had changed and with it I felt the call to create something that would fit me better, truer. As I cut vegetables I mentioned the idea to my husband. He agreed that it sounded like a good idea. Before he finished speaking I'd messaged a dozen friends with questions and ideas. I knew I wanted something mythologically based. Bees were too Utah but maybe cicadas or scarabs? As thoughts were tossed around my creative process came back to me, as it always does. The visitors, the ladies, my sirens. I jotted down the following phrase to keep my branding consistent, "Something that feels like the TV show Fringe, Pan’s Labyrinth, and Brian Froud’s faeries had a baby. A strong, independent, female baby." It was mostly done as a jest but as the name formed and the presence of it grew I knew that I was hitting on something. Like a selfie slipping my own seal skin, the title of 9 Sirens felt natural to me. Embracing it allowed me to let go of my past and embrace my new life with my bones, bugs, and visitors. Now that I'm here I'm ready to let go of the art I felt I should be making (I'm looking at you children's book illustrations) and I'm working on making some magic unique to what sings to my soul. * #selfdiscovery #rebranding #branding #rebrand #9sirens #9sirenscreative #siren #artistlife #website #portfolio #portfoliodesign #artportfolio #logo #logodesigns https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Tf6R2HK2Z/?igshid=dq3xggj8y10s
