Creating physical art of any kind has been a relatively new experience and challenge for me. Growing up, art was never a class I enjoyed, as for whatever reason colouring within the lines was difficult for me, and in elementary school I was chastised appropriately for it. Discovering the world of abstract art when I was in my early teens felt like another world opening up to me. Though, until recently, I was still too terrified to attempt any of my own.
