Why I became an Artist?!
Some say we were born this way others say some life changing experience changes our view and others still say we see the world differently and therefore cannot see ourselves any other way.
For a long time and as a child I was moved by shapes and colours, noticing lights,shapes of flowers, stare at the night sky and busy streets, draw objects around my house, I had been filled with the awe for the world around me since I was a child and now it becomes keeping that awe and love alive. So I say we choose to be artists as adults but we are all artists, filled with imagination, joy and awe as children.
As adults we may undergo life changes and this also has a part to play in our experience and journey in discovering ourself and matching our understanding of ourselves with the reality of who we are. It is continually a challenge like any other profession or job to be a good Artist. It has its highs,lows and moments of frustration and doubts but ultimately what keeps me going is my love for it.
Every artist agrees that there is no feeling like that of an accomplished design or painting, a dance that fell all into place, a song that touched the soul or a story that is told that can be shared and experienced by others.
Being able to use a gift given by God to bring joy is a way of giving back to God. I see a certain way and convey colours a certain way and want to fill the world of others with colours so they too can experience that joy that colours bring !
