There are so many amazing artists, not only in the world, but right here where I live in Northwest Arkansas. It is overwhelming, and I only feel free to call myself an artist because I'm committed. Creating becomes a part of how an artist grows as a person, learning to set aside the ego and get caught up in gratitude for the visual world, opening the mind to new perspectives--a good reason for more people to try it and a good reason for teaching others.
