Art has brought a lot of value into my life both through being a way to creatively express myself and as a way to connect with others within my community. I have participated in. both informal and more formal art and crafting groups throughout my life that have brought me a lot of joy. Viewing and supporting other artists has also been incredibly important to me. While I love visiting galleries and museums that is not always possible and the ability to view and purchase art online has allowed me to bring art into my life in a much more informal and impactful way.
