"I have created myself entirely:
A childhood, a personality, longings, dreams and memories,
All in order to enable me to tell them."
When I was in high school I read this quote as I was looking for inspiration for an art project. This quote has stuck with me over the years and I think that this applies to everyone, but artists especially. As I've talked about before in my blog, I feel very strongly that art is a great outlet to express yourself. I feel that when I create art, really personal and meaningful art, it has my heart put into it. Most of the art that I create has to do with things I have been through so far in my life. I have created an artistic self by practicing techniques, modifying and changing how these techniques work for me, and have, slowly over time, allowed myself to create pieces that tell it all for me. In other words, relatively speaking, I wear my thoughts and emotions on my sleeve when I am making art.
