So many people have asked me this question: "Why do you do it?" My answer is below.

I keep creating new art projects because:

I truly love it!
I put my feelings and emotions into my creations—this is how I express them.
The process of creation has become my visual diary, and I love telling my story this way.
It’s a part of me—this is what I am passionate about.
It clears my mind, making me feel more peaceful, relaxed, and calm.
It’s like taking a breath—I need it just as others need oxygen.
I enjoy the feeling of getting lost in my creations; it washes away "the dust of everyday life" from my mind.
It helps me see more beauty in the world around me, allowing me to view things from a different angle.
Creation is who I am.
I feel it’s time to make my dreams come true.
It keeps my mind close to what I love and away from stress, depression, and anxiety.
It gives me a sense of freedom.
It is so relaxing!
It gives me a deep sense of satisfaction.
It allows me to be in harmony with my heart, soul, and mind.
It makes other people happy—and I love that!
All my problems seem to fade away; this is my way of detaching from the real world.
It makes my husband happy, but most importantly, I do it for myself.
It helps me relax and unwind.
I can’t imagine not doing it or not spending time on my projects.
It brings me great joy.
Creation is rewarding—it’s my destiny. It’s not just about the end result but the journey itself.
It gives me the exciting feeling of seeing my inner self reflected in things that are not me.
During times when I feel lost, the creative process helps me find my way back and get on the right track again.
It makes me feel good about myself.

CONCLUSION:
In the end, creating art is more than just a passion—it is an essential part of who I am. It fills my life with meaning, brings me peace, and allows me to express emotions that words cannot. Through my creations, I connect with myself, the world around me, and those who appreciate my work. Art is my sanctuary, my freedom, and my joy. I simply cannot imagine life without it.
