It’s Me, I’m the Amateur by Jay Mauer

Biography: I enjoy many different art styles, from watercolor painting to creative writing and poetry. I started with drawing figures and have since expanded to creating scenery. I love looking at a piece of text that I’ve created and wordsmithing it to make it more vivid; I enjoy writing short stories and poetry. My poetry is mostly written when I have an overwhelming feeling that I can’t shake. It helps me to process that emotion and create something I’m proud of.
