a natural artist
For those of us with a creative calling in the design field, we often have a strong, nostalgic, foundation in the fine arts.
In addition to spending time with family and friends, I spend some free time in my art studio. This keeps the ideas of inspiration, contrast, composition, and originality, alive and well.
