I am returning to aims as a student because I want to make a change in my life with my career. I want to bring my creativity to what I do for a living and not just my hobbies I do in my free time. My art and my crafting means my unlimited freedom. I can take an idea and make a drawing that shows what’s inside my mind. The freedom that I feel when I am drawing or crafting is difficult to explain. I was always doodling when I was younger and in high school. It was always something to fill the time or when boredom hit. It was always freeing in that moment to see if I could put what I was picturing in my head and put it on paper and how in that moment it might change. I work with yarn for my hobbies so I wanted to explore more with different mediums. I am someone who strives to find the whimsy in everything, big or small. I believe that whimsy can be found everywhere even in down and dark times.
