That is the question that was asked of us at Creative Therapy. Please stop by and see the answers to this question by my fellow Design team members and our guest artist Jenny Doh from Creshendoh.com. Here is mine!
Art has always been a part of my life in some way or another. I loved taking photography classes in high school and I appreciated my mother’s ability to paint. But it wasn’t until my Freshman year in college that art saved me. I was on track to be a nurse and decided to take an Art History class to fulfill a requirement. Little did I know that one class would change me. I had not done very well on my first Organic Chem. test but aced my Northern Renaissance art test. I called my parents and said I wanted to change my major to art history instead of nursing. The answer was…no! I was devastated! I had discovered this part of me I didn’t really know existed but to pursue it seemed out of the question. To make a long story short, I became a nurse with an art history minor! Ever since that time I have taken in art whenever I can. I have see the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, the National Gallery of Art and many others. More importantly what I learned is that art is a huge part of who I am.Whether it be in photography, scrapbooking, project making, or visiting museums I can not escape this passion I have to take it all in! It moves me, it inspires me, it is me! “Art found me and has forever changed the way I see life”. That is the phrase I stitched on my project. I am so grateful it did find me and I that I found a way to hold on to it!
