Art and Life are reflections of each other: You might recall your life through art, or create art based on your life experiences. I believe that everything we do in life is one form of art or another. The way we make people feel, the way we decorate our homes, the way we speak, the way we write our name, the outfits we choose, and the way we enter a room at a social gathering - all of these are forms of art. I thought sharing my story might be helpful to others, because if there is one thing I've learned over the years, it's that when you make a mistake, even if it's a big one, you can start over in both life and in art. It may not be easy, but once you've made that first stroke on your blank canvas, each stroke after that will be easier.
