Artwork

I have always adored art. I spent so much of my life dipping in and out of doing art, spending a large portion of my teenage years escaping life through art classes but also through artistic expression, be it playing music, dancing, acting or singing. It was an escape from the real world, which I always found confusing, disappointing and hard to navigate. After school, I completed my art portfolio through a PLC with a view of going to art college, but for some reason, I took a detour at that point and never returned. I have been reviving my artwork recently, beginning with some pencil sketches to remind myself of the joy I get from doing art. My writing has also fed into satisfying my need for artistic expression. It has been a new arrival in my life which I adore. Something is so soothing about creating new and beautiful works of art, whether art, writing or through photography. The world has become very fast, and pausing to appreciate the beauty of the simple things in life seems crucial to us remaining grounded and human.
