Passionmango
Story:
March of 2020 was when we were asked to isolate ourselves at home, and I remember being confused and worried about my future. I picked up painting commissions as a hobby to help donate to an organization that contributed to pandemic needs, and also to fill a void inside of me. It was a rough experience, but this was an early step to my journey as an artist. I enjoyed painting throughout that year, but I started feeling less motivated which led to me closing commissions and taking a hiatus.
The following year, I felt no passion in me to do anything: art, work, live life happily. It was as if I lost a huge part of me somewhere in isolation. As a matter of fact, I don't think I ever felt this much anxiety in my life until the pandemic happened. It made me wonder about my capabilities, and all the time when I told myself "I WILL make art again" were also the times where I doubted myself as an artist. Looking back, I do believe that my passion for art never diminished but rather stayed hidden until I was ready to get back on my feet.
biography:
In my mid 20's, still trying to figure out life while doing things I enjoy doing! I am an educator, an artist, and a boba enthusiast. I graduated at the University of Washington Bothell, having a degree in Educational Studies with a concentration in Elementary Education back in 2021, hoping to become a full-time elementary teacher one day.
Outside of my work in education, I enjoy making pixelated and digital art on my iPad. It has always been a little old dream of mine to show my passion in education and in art for the world to see.
