I believe that art is whatever you make it to be. It can be a form of escapism, a simple hobby, a full-time job, and so much more. To me personally, art has always been a way for me to find a pocket of peace in my day where I can sit down and draw whatever new thing I happen to have developed an obsession with. The art that I have created stands as both a testament of my dedication to the craft and serves as a reminder of all of the moments I’ve encountered through the creative process of each individual piece. The collection of my artwork is like memories of my life. Little moments captured within each piece that I get reminded of every time I look at a piece. I feel extremely lucky that I am able to hold on to those feelings, even the negative ones because they ground me and bring me back to moments in my life that would otherwise be lost or overlooked.
