Artisan may be the more correct term for what I am, as the vast majority of my free time is spent making things, and I enjoy it immensely. I am active in a variety of different mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, sewing, interior design, and a number of other things. To my mind, each medium is it's own unique creative tool. I counter the conditioning of learned helplessness by teaching myself to think in new ways about the medium, whether it be artwork or a broken household object. The process of creating is still the same.
