Действительно, была бы причина сходить с ума, если бы не музыка
"Truly there would be reason to go mad were it not for music."
- Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Growing up, I thought I would be a professional musician. Between musically inclined/encouraging parents and ten years of piano lessons, I wanted to make a career out of it. However, at the same time, I discovered that drawing was also a passion of mine. The process of art-making and formally learning a musical composition differ in so many ways. Eventually, these differences helped me decide to major in fine arts rather than music. Still, music is always playing in my studio, and come to think of it, I have never painted without it. So why not combine the two? Given the exposure to this area of study, I could not let it go to waste. Much like a hoarder, I collect and hold onto teachings understood over the years.
