Recently, I was asked the question "How are you an artist?". It truly has taken me some time to devise a response because I wanted to dig deeper than just "I paint" or "I like to draw". While I do LOVE to paint, I must admit I've been less of a painter during the school session and more of one during the summer and winter breaks of college. It is sad because I love to paint, but studio art is not my major, so after all the homework and projects - some nights I just don't have the energy to whip out my canvas and paints. Although, painting is like a meditation to me. I love to paint outside and get lost of time completely. I feel like I am an artist in this sense because it is something I am very passionate about while I am doing it. But besides the painting, I am an artist in many other ways. I love fashion. I get up every morning and decorate my body with clothes and paint my face with makeup (majority of the time, unless I've overslept - oops~!). I love fashion and really enjoy finding new, fun, & feminine pieces to play with. Barney's is like an art museum for me. Even if I'm not in for a shopping spree, I adore their window dislays, manicans, and decor. I would say Barney's is where I get inspiration to decorate myself. I'm also an artist in the kitchen. My mom has always been a cooking woman. We are not one of those families that eat out every night because the mom can't cook (no offense), and since I am the only child, I have always been by her side to help. I have learned her recipes and created my own a long the way. I love to try new things, create, and taste. Finally, I would say I am not only artistic in the fine arts realm, but for my own personal sense of style and flavor as well.
