For years, I have been sketching caricatures and illustrations of my loved ones, much to their chagrin. However, I decided to take my passion for illustration further by creating a series of caricatures that explored the different emotions I was going through at the time. I found the process to be therapeutic, as it allowed me to express my feelings through art. The end result was a collection of illustrations that depicted an artist in pain, but it should be noted that this no longer reflects my current state of mind. The act of creating art, in and of itself, has a therapeutic effect on me.
