Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music and literature.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art)

Art for me is a way to express myself to everyone and it is like a therapy for me. Everytime I saw a pencil and a clean sheet of paper you cannot stop me from making a new creation out of my imagination. Yes! I really love imagining things and apply it via drawing and I thank God for giving me a talent in drawing and I promise to myself to enhance this talent because I know that this talent will lead me into a success.

I remember way back then when I was only 6 years old at that time I always win a 1st Place in Art Making Contest and I used to draw a stick man and a house :lol: then when I was 10 years old I learn how to draw Anime and Cartoons and also at that age I already mastered the sketching too bad I left my old sketches in my grandmother’s house :cry: . I used to sketch my parents, cousins, grandmother, friends, our house, St. Martin, Don Bosco, and etc I always win an award everytime I participate in a contest related to Drawing, Sketching, and Coloring. :lol: In short I really love drawing since I was a little girl and I don’t want that this talent will put into waste so that is why I tried my best to develop it and enhance it.

My Sketches

I think our family is really artistically inclined :lol: because even my older brother loves to sketch too actually this our way to have a great bond to each other.
