For me, art and artistic expression gave me a platform to express myself. To be who I am freely and confidently. It has made me a better person. A curious person. A determined person. In many ways, it likely liberated me. When I look at my personal life, and my work life, I see the power art has to cause on to think differently. To stretch what's possible. To inspire one to try, to be okay with failing, and to be motivated to try yet again.
What about you?
