A brief excerpt from my Canvas Rebel interview:

CR: “What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?”

“Personally I think one of the most rewarding aspect of being an artists comes from the growth that comes with practice. Creating art is a skill that you can always expand on. It is very thrilling to be passionate about something that continues to develop and change through the phases of life. Making art doesn’t ever have to be a stagnate hobby because there is always something new to try.

Another rewarding aspect is seeing your ideas turn into a piece of art that you can share! Other people indulging and engaging in your artwork elicits a feeling of excited that nothing else mirrors. It’s always a great feeling to be proud of something you’ve worked hard on. I have really enjoyed being able to share my art (in real life and online) while simultaneously fulfilling another artists’ needs to share. The art community is such a welcoming, prosperous space. One of the many perks of being an artist is to be involved in community of creatives that are inspiring and supportive.”
