I do art
While I enjoy assisting others, creating artwork has always been my true passion. I am an avid drawer who has also been working on their painting skills. The majority of my art stems from my imagination; I never allow the child in me fade away. Creating sketches and paintings has also helped me deal through mental and emotional challenges, and I hope to embrace art as a talent that I can utilize to help others in similar situations as it has helped me.
