Not just a hobby

When something can bring about a sense of peace and strength of self, it is more than just a hobby. By painting, crafting, or making, I can focus, reset my brain, and alleviate the stressors of everyday life. It's my safe space. Within the creative process, a sense of determination sets a path to objective thought and recalibration.  Creating art goes beyond being a hobby; it is therapy in the truest sense.
