"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time."

-Thomas Merton

 

 

          This quote is true in so many different ways. Art allows us to find the deeper meanings in things that we do, while it also has us lose what we thought it meant. Art can change our mindset based on what you do or love. Art can make you a completely different person by just finding one thing that you love to do.

 

           As a child, art had surrounded me. My grandfather was a painter, and both of my parents had loved art. I was taken to museums and art shows, which had fused my current love for it. Most of my current artwork is based upon a point from my childhood, although, I do sometimes get my inspiration elsewhere. Different medium preferences are different for every person, and I can honestly say that I do not have a preference. I love art in general, and I am excited for what will come as I develop as an artist.
