For me that means drawing and painting whenever I have any spare time. Life in 21st century America is complicated, busy and distracting. I work full-time, go to school at night and spend the rest of my time being married and raising a family. When the demands of life begin to overwhelm me, I remember that I'm not alone and that many, many people have to deal with much more adversity than I do. I am thankful for the blessings I've been given and I try never to forget that. That's why I try to draw and paint when I can.
It's a blessing to be able to create art, no matter how much or how little value others give your work. I was taught by my mother to use my talents, whatever they may be, to create and to try everyday to get better at whatever it is I do.
