I am not sure if I am more interested in the creative process or personal growth because they have always been so deeply intertwined.
In college I had such a profound mind-altering experience while drawing, that it permanently changed the way I view both art and life. This singular event propelled me on a journey of self-discovery.
In the process I have come to understand that creativity is not a luxury––but rather a necessity. Creativity expands and develops the conscious mind. It also allows us to express our feelings in an unabashed manner. This full expression of the self has the ability to releases us from the past and allows us to be more authentic.
