  1. It took me a while before I took the jump into Art Journaling; but--- what I found? I experienced such an OVERWHELMING sensation of "All these years!" It was both a feeling of great sadness, and a haunted happiness, that it took me all these years [after being distracted for decades], to get back to who I TRULY am.

  2. Discovering mixed media has allowed me to grow as an artist and let go of self-criticism. I have more confidence and joy in expressing myself through art.

  3. Art is important in every aspect of my daily life. Making and surrounding myself with creative items lifts my and others' heart.

  4. For me that is like asking why is breathing important to you? Because it keeps me alive, grounds me, keeps me sane, gives me life. Yep, I'd say, that's Art for me.

    ReplyDelete
  5. My mother always said 'art feeds the soul' and I've come to see the truth of that. We can feed our bodies, but creating and appreciating art nourishes us in a deeper way, and is what separates us from the beasts of the field.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Art for me is a way of expressing what I otherwise could'nt. It is essential to my life and happiness.

  7. Art is everywhere! It brings me peace and keeps me sane!

  8. Art is, as we open our eyes in the morning, an entegril part of our being. It is in everything we see, everyone we meet. Creating art, an extension of our very core, our soul speaks and is not only seen, but heard by the right ears and eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Art is an integral part of my life and that of my children. Every day we find ways to create and celebrate using our hearts and hands, and life is richer because of it!

  21. Art is just a part of who I am. If I don't have the time or take the time to do something creative daily I actually feel a loss. Even though at times it is frustrating when it keeps me awake. I feel incredibly blessed to love creating. Thank you for this opportunity

    ReplyDelete
  22. Creating art is " that which makes my heart beat faster". It is a slow death to go too long without creating it. I put it off most of my life to raise kids and then grandkids, pay mortgages and bells etc. my time now. Heather Domke

    ReplyDelete

Working in my own studio brings me joy and peace as I follow in their footsteps and look out my window to enjoy the wondrous beauty they share with their loved ones on Earth.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Creating art/art journaling is important because it is therapy for me. I work with dying elderly patients and their families. It is a stressful job which I am good at. I need aTherapeutic release, art fills this void.

  69. Making art and being creative is who I am and what I do. I couldn't go on for very long without using my creativity... I'd be stifled and sad. Thank goodness I have a job that utilizes my talents in design and that I am a creativity and expressive arts coach. These genes were passed down to me and on to my children so I am very grateful and blessed to be a Maker of Art. Congratulations, Sherri! You share yours with us every day! Well deserved honor. ~Hobby

  70. Art is my therapy. My 3 year old daughter passed 4 years ago and soon after I discovered a creative side I never knew I had. It's evolved from scrapbooking to preserve memories to mixed media. I love art journalling, altered art and assemblage. I'm currently learning encaustic, pewter work and soldering. Thanks for the opportunity to win! Jen x

    ReplyDelete
  71. Art saved my life. I was in a horrible motorcycle accident and couldn't work anymore. My work was of a professional dancer. It was a hard road but I turned to art as my creative outlet and to this day even though I'm in a wheelchair now I turn to my art to get me through the hard times.

    ReplyDelete
  72. why art is important in my everyday life. It keeps my mind active, reduces stress, fills my life with beauty and keeps me sane!

I love to work for hours and only feel a few minutes pass by and be refreshed. I'm blessed to be creative and artistic with a thirst for knowledge so I can continue to grow in my skills and give back and share with others. Art creates joy in my life and makes me the best most loving person I can be

  73. I have always had love for art and it's been part of my life at a very young age. My grandad was a self taught artist and crafter and I seemed to have picked this up :) I love it, I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks and it is the most effective and relaxing thing that seems to help at the moment :) and I love how my children feed off my art and become more creative every day :) I also just love to share with the world ;)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  75. That question actually took be aback, I'm not sure how to answer it. Art is a part of my everyday life, and has been since early childhood,
    so . . . I dunno exactly how to answer "why."

    It just IS!

    It's a thinker . . .

    This magazine looks fabulous, congratulations to you, and thank you for the opportunity!

    ReplyDelete
  76. I am a caregiver, as well as a mom if 4 (3 still at home) and grandmother of 2. Art is my recharge, so much so that my husband encourages me to pursue it. He sees how it benefits my soul. No matter what my mood, I can spend time in my art room expressing myself through my art.

    ReplyDelete

  87. It makes me smile and feel. My eyes would be big if I saw some beautiful piece of art. I forget everything else

    ReplyDelete
  88. Every morning I go first to my emails and delete the trash, then onto FB. I fill my head and heart with the many beautiful canvases I find left there by the various artists I follow. Before I know it, it is 9am and I have to do my exercise routine before showering and having the dressings changed on my legs. I cannot do without my daily fix of colour. This is what sets me up for the day, and it is the thought of pencils, paints and paper that encourages me to work through my daily chores in order to be free after lunch to use them. A world without colour to me is unimaginable.xx

    ReplyDelete
  89. For me art is a release, a joy, a way to express. I find it very meditative. When I paint I lose myself in that moment. I don't worry about bills, or work or family challenges .. I just get lost in creating. This past year I have had great joy in painting rocks to look like ladybugs. My friends and I sell them and the proceeds go to our local cancer center in honor of her son which was taken by cancer. We also hand out the small ones to random people and it is amazing the joy that these little bugs give people. We see the joy and feel the joy in giving them. To date I have made hundreds of "cancer bugs" we call them cancer bugs - cause cancer bugs us. I am 49 mother of two, work full time and have learned to make time for art as it really does re-energizes me. Thank you for your art and the potential to win this gift.
