Underneath it all, I'm an artist and some of my paintings and drawings here have been reflecting over the years.

“Why do you sketch?”
“Why am I sketching?”
Sketching is quite different from a finished artwork. It is sometimes just doodles, sometimes a thought process, and sometimes a practice. Often, it is not meant to be seen.
Our thoughts are messy. Memories and ideas don’t live in our head in isolation — they are mixed and remixed with emotions, beliefs, and that song you can’t get out of your head. Getting our thoughts out of our head and into a sketchbook lightens our mental load and helps us be creative. Not just because a sketch pulls an idea “out of the mess,” but because sampling or capturing that idea in a hand-made visual way engages more of our brain.
