Unknown Artist

My name is Kimberlie also know as “Unknown Artist” or “Hear Art Unknown”.I began the Unknown Artist page for a couple of reasons. The first, I have said I am going to write my memoirs for sometime now, and while I obviously had the story in my mind, I needed to start brain storming ideas and times I wanted to cover in my book. I began writing a list of monumental times in my life, many places I had not visited in my memory for sometime. I wanted to write some key points or emotions as my memories began flooding back to me. I easily got caught up in the vivid memories I had tucked away and being a writer my hands could barely keep up with my mind as I wrote; in this process both, “In the Beginning” (not yet recorded) and “My Garden” were born.I wanted to get honest opinions of the pieces so I decided to start a page just for my writings. I chose to be anonymous because I wanted a true reaction of my work, not on how I looked or who I might be. Which is also why I did not ask the opinion of my friends or family; they love me, and I didn’t want that to be confused with what I wrote. By being anonymous I had the freedom to write without judgment, which was amazingly liberating for me, and so came the other pieces that reflected on my more current life.Another, more honest reason for starting Unknown Artist was fear. Many people love to sing, but it does not necessarily mean they can. I love to write, it keeps me sane. Writing has become a friend I can always count on; not to mention holds all of my most honest secrets, feelings, and experiences. I figured if the reception I received was bad or non-existent, I could keep my love for writing just as it always has been, personal. I soon learned my self-consciousness was pretty silly. I was in awe at the reception that flooded the page in just a few days. I decided to share a piece I wrote with a close friend whom I had recently loaned my singing vocals to. While reading the piece I realized the emotion of voice was a very important piece to make the art whole. We began recording the next day.Hear Art Unknown, I could not have prepared myself for. I am still beside myself at the reaction I have received. To be honest, I was in tears almost daily by the emails and comments I received. This is the reason I decided to not hide any longer. The personal stories people have so openly shared with me. People asking for advice because they or someone they love are or have experienced similar situations to those in my life. The constant request by many to share my identity became clear, and my reasons for being anonymous originally had dissolved.Thank you, for joining me on this exciting journey. I hope you continue to travel with me as I take this new step toward my adventure as a writer.All my love to you, Kimberlie
