Q: How long does it take for you to complete a work of art?

Q: How did you learn how to draw/paint?
A: I’ve been making art since I was able to hold a crayon. After middle school, I stopped making art for a time. In college, I started practicing again. I used online resources such as Draw a Box and Art Prof, as well as books like Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards. I watched a whole lot of Youtube videos. My sophomore year of college, I started taking art courses and minored in art in addition to my psych degree. As a grad student, I’ve taken many courses focused on therapeutic art-making. Each of these experiences has influenced my personal artistic style and molded me into the artist I am today.
Q: I am a new artist just starting out. Do you have any advice?
A: Make lots of “bad” art. Make it bad on purpose. Practice drawing what you see. Draw a lot of different things. Make art that’s just for you that no one sees. Put your favorite things you’ve made up on a wall where you can see them. Draw big. Draw on your papers when you’re in class. Most importantly, let go of your perfectionism and silence the voice inside you that tells you you’re not “talented,” “young,” “old,” “knowledgeable,” “fast,” “slow,” “put-together,” or “good” enough.
