The main reason I do digital art is that the programs I use are free but let me do so much that I am not able to on paper. This ability to express so much at any given moment on my phone helps me get my mind off things that are bothering me in everyday life. Most of my art, in fact, do not really have a specific message to share other than “I was thinking or feeling this when I made it”. For example, my piece “Two Girls and a Cityscape” shares my thoughts of people getting along despite their drastically different views on life. Since I use my art to express my thoughts and feelings, my goal for my art is to allow it to express everything I feel at a given moment.
Every single piece for me begins with a thought or emotion and with that thought or motion, I try to invent a way to express it visually. Most of my works have a human as the subject of the piece since I am most comfortable doing this. With this I usually take characters I have created in my earlier pieces, or create a new one to play the role in my piece. Then I visualize a scene for my actor(s) to act to represent this emotion or thought. Lastly, I create it. I am not a very open person so I enjoy my art because I feel it shows my thoughts without me having to say them.
In some of my recent pieces, I began to explore editing photos together and working with objects rather than working with humans. In one piece, I grew tired of the negative environment growing around me and instead drew a light gentle blue scene of white pure bunnies covering it as a way to escape it. I want to continue doing art as a hobby because that is how I enjoy it most. Other than that I hope that those who do see my art do feel as though they see a glimpse of my thoughts and feelings when looking at them and as a result know more about me.
