Art helps me heal. When I am down or anxious painting helps change my emotions to more peaceful or positive. Taking photographs brings me life. In many ways creating art helps me feel more positive and full of life and energy. I really get a thrill from taking a beautiful photograph or painting a pretty picture. I love to try. new things to see if I can integrate new styles into my art. And art is fun. I enjoy creating art and finding subject matter. Art helps me heal and helps me go about my life with newfound energy and a positive outlook.
