Creating For Me


I use art as expression and a stress reliever. I create because I see an idea in my head and need to see it on paper or on a computer screen in order to get it out of my head. When I was an education major, every art teacher I observed and worked with gave me the same advice. They told me to never stop creating. They said that it is so easy to stop doing art for you when you have a full time job. You have other priorities and obligations when you get home and art falls by the wayside. Even though I am no longer pursuing a career in education, the advice still applies. Whatever job I find, I still need to find time in my life for my art. I need to create without rules and guidelines. I need to create for me and me alone in order to keep my passion alive and my mind sane.
