Every child's first interaction with creativity is often arts and crafts. The small hand turkeys or toilet paper roll creations. As much with others, that's where I began, though I never stopped. What went from drawing mermaids swiftly turned into painting tiles then lead to painting paintings. Throughout it all, I simply enjoyed getting my hands messy with paint and marker to have a finished product at the end. My art is different now, often scriptural based and full of many different mediums, but the little girl who still loves to create flourishes with a blank page in front of here.
