Why Did You Become An Artist
Growing up in the East, I was very shy and reserved and spent a lot of time alone. When I realized I had a talent for drawing, I used this as an outlet to express my inner feelings to myself and not to anyone else. When people began to appreciate and admire my work, I decided to take myself more seriously and learn more about various art forms. |
