I am a hobbyist. I have been fostering my passion for arts for a long time while working in a 60+ hours/week kind of corporate job. Art, for me, is an expression of one's creative soul. It is an extremely spiritual and personal experience. It helps me to be fully present in the moment and to connect closely with the object and its creator - be it a delicate flower or a concrete building. I believe that all inspiration comes from the Nature and the artist is just a channel to manifest these.
