I’ve always considered myself to be quite creative, with the capacity to take on challenges in interesting and uncommon ways. I’ve never really struggled to create, but I have struggled to put a style to my work. Whether it’s a drawing, a song, a short story, a problem, etcetera, I’ve always found it easier to think creatively and open my mind than to think narrowly and in a more logical way. I like to twist the equation, break the mold, think way outside the box. But again… what is my style? Honestly, I’m not sure I have one. But maybe…maybe not having a style IS my style!

In life, I’ve felt extremely flexible in terms of how I handle things and fit into my surroundings. Though it probably came from a place of not wanting to be “different,” in hopes of being able to blend into the crowd, I feel as though it turned out for the best for me. It’s been very easy for me to assimilate when necessary and fill whatever shoes I have to, which translates over into learning and executing new styles when being purely casually creative. This semester, I would love to develop more of a specific style. I don’t want to be just an artist, but rather a moving artist, or a relatable artist. Something with meaning and emotion, that shows I put my heart into my work and my interactions and want to create a connection with others. But hey, for now, I guess I’m just riding the wave!
