Christie: I will start off by saying that I am an artist. I paint, I am a photographer, I draw, I play music, and I write poetry and prose. And along with being an artist comes all of the typical stereotypes: way too emotional, extremely observant, wearing black all the time, and over-the-top expressive. But all "joking" aside, there are many things that I love about having an artist's eye. The world is one big photograph. Being able to see the beauty in what society calls "ugly" or "not important." Seeing life in all things: the air, the sun, the trees, the snow, the rain... pure, aesthetic life from all around you. But I feel like the best part of being an artist, as defiant as it may sound, is rebelling against any sort of rules that constrict your mind. Whatever people say is just noise. You can paint outside the lines, you can splatter ink across a canvas, you can draw a person with 5 ears... there is always something in the mind that is just waiting to be created and put down on paper. Only then is it real enough for everyone else to see. Only then can people truly cherish and enjoy it the way you first imagined it.
