My story

My story is still in the works.

I don't know where my passion for art will lead, but I know how it began.

In 7th grade I started attending a Christian umbrella group for homeschoolers.

They had a basic drawing class and I decided to take it just for fun.

When I picked a seat, I had no idea the best artist in the class would be sitting next to me.

I got inspired from her, and she let me watch her draw and she gave me tips when I asked.

She pushed me from the very beginning to want to get better.

Before art, I had absolutely no hobbies, no interests, besides a little pleasure reading.

Just like anyone in 7th grade, I didn't know who I was yet, and just followed the flow.

Art gave me footing.

I wasn't good at first.

But I loved art so much, I drew every spare moment I had.

I did more than the teacher assigned and she started to take more notice in me.

It's baby steps in the beginning, and they're all important.

After 7th grade I didn't take another art class until Junior year of high school,

I had continued to get better on my own, but regretted not taking art class every year, 

I missed out on continuing to get inspired to push like the students around me.

So,

What have I learned so far?

Artists inspire one another.

I like helping artists that are just starting out, because I was there once.

And I love seeing works from people who are masters, continuing to inspire me to push harder.

I wonder what the next part of my story will be?

My creative endevours continue on....
