What Motivates Me to Create Art

Art has always been more than just a hobby or profession for me; it’s a profound expression of who I am. Each piece I create holds a story, a feeling, or an inspiration that drives me forward. In this first blog post, I want to share the motivations behind my artistic journey and what keeps me coming back to the canvas.


Imagine that everyone who had ever been born, was born with a specific skill, desire, or “talent”—one that comes naturally, one that calls you, one that you can’t escape. Well, that, for me, has been art. Perhaps the earlier influences, I’m talking real early, someone may have influenced me or taught me something. To that person, I must say thank you for introducing me to whatever tool it was that I used to draw my first picture. Since I could remember, art has been a big part of my life. It brings me joy, and I can’t stop. When I am sad… ART! When I am happy… ART! When I am feeling inspired… ART!


1. The Desire to Tell Stories

Every piece of art is a narrative waiting to unfold. Through my creations, I aim to tell stories that words alone cannot capture. Whether it’s the vibrant colors of a sunset or the intricate details of a whimsical design, my art reflects the stories of life, emotion, and imagination. Knowing that others can connect with these visual tales is a powerful motivator.


2. The Power of Emotion

Art is a language of emotions. It allows me to express joy, sadness, curiosity, or hope in ways that resonate deeply with others. Creating art gives me the freedom to channel these emotions into something tangible, something others can feel when they view my work. Seeing my art evoke a reaction—a smile, a thought, or a memory—is incredibly fulfilling.


3. Inspiration in Everyday Moments

Life is full of inspiration, and I find it in the smallest of moments. A morning walk, my child’s laughter, or even the play of light through the trees can spark an idea. These seemingly ordinary experiences fuel my creativity and remind me that beauty exists everywhere if we take the time to notice.


4. The Joy of Creation

There’s something magical about starting with a blank canvas and watching it come to life. The process of creating—choosing colors, making brushstrokes, and experimenting with textures—is incredibly rewarding. It’s a journey of discovery that keeps me motivated and excited to try new things.


5. Sharing and Connecting

Art has the power to bring people together. Through my work, I’ve connected with individuals who share my passion or see the world through a similar lens. Knowing that my art can inspire or bring joy to others is one of my greatest motivations. It’s a reminder that creativity is a universal language that transcends boundaries.


6. The Legacy of Creativity

Creating art is also about leaving a mark. It’s about contributing something unique to the world and leaving behind a legacy of creativity and passion. When someone appreciates or remembers a piece I’ve created, it becomes a part of their story too, which is a deeply meaningful thought.


Art is my voice, my escape, and my connection to the world. It’s what motivates me to wake up every day with excitement for what I can create next. I’m thrilled to share this journey with you and can’t wait to hear what inspires you as well.
