I have always loved Art. I know that is entirely cliche to write, but it is true I remember sitting for hours as a kids drawing and painting. While I would describe myself as basically the opposite as what some may consider an artist, I am type very type A, overly organized and overly scheduled. However, art has always been meditative to me. What I love about it is while people may have pre-conceived notions of what an artist looks like or acts like, art has no requirements other than an open mind. I think art is part of why I love my job (online marketing) every day I get to tell business owners stories through a variety of medium. Photography, videography, digital art, and words. I hope to continue to refine my skills in each of these areas to better capture and tell stories.
You would think having a rigid schedule, I would approach art freely. However, I actually use a lot of the same techniques I keep myself organized with in my artistic process. I have a plan, assess the story I want to tell, then decide the best route for that story (photography, etc) then execute. I know that I am done when the story feels complete.
Currently most of my art happens through my job, Working with brands and businesses to help set up their online presence. While most of the time I have to pass off the art side of job to the professional designers I work with, I am excited to continue to grow my digital skills to becomes more a part of that process.
