Stories of Practice in Context

My story of practice

Growing up, I had always been creating. I don't know when it started, but I have always remembered drawing and making. My version of "playing" with dolls and other toys as a child was to sculpt and sew items such as dresses, beds, chairs, and so much more. Art in all sense of the word is one of my most significant interests; I had already decided so young that I wanted to be an artist no matter what. And even now, as a game developer working with more digital mediums, I am still so heavily involved in the art and creation aspects. I even plan to produce my own artwork that I can sell as I always want to be involved in all aspects of art that I immensely enjoy. As I have an immense interest in all art forms, I have always struggled with the idea of being able only to use one or only being good at one; I wish to have skills in as many mediums as I possibly can. As I work on projects, these ideals of wanting to create constantly are something that I always try to reflect on and showcase. I didn't ever expect to end up within a game design space, but now knowing how broad the art side is, I am drawn even more into bettering myself with it. Being successful in traditional art mediums and digital ones is something that I am constantly pushing for, even possibly merging the two mediums to increase my skills in new ways.
