I've felt depressed many times in my life, so I can draw on those times in my life when I need to.

Drawing is the only thing I've found in which I can lose myself completely. I love it. It started as something that relaxed me, but now it's a struggle because I'm pushing myself. The day-to-day sketching is fraught.

I have been drawing all my life.

Some days you feel like this is really going well. You can tell. Other days, you're just drawing like a farmer and you don't know why.

I'm pretty terrible at writing, so the way I kind of therapeutically get through things is by drawing.

I have always enjoyed drawing and painting but I don't always find the time to do much these days.

I know that when I finish a drawing, my anxiety level decreases. The realistic drawings are a way of pinning down an idea. I don't want to loose it. With the abstract drawings, when I'm feeling loose, I can slip into the unconscious.

I find that I'm constantly drawing. Even when I'm on holidays or when the baby's sleeping, I'll just start doing some automatic drawing, something like that, and then it will turn into a piece, even though I thought I was just doodling.
