Reflection

What inspired my work? Well the simple answer is my love for fishing. I’ve been fishing since I was 6 years old and something about making a video and encouraging more people to fish just called to me. Being creative makes me feel amazing about myself and I just feel like all of humanity's problems just fade away and I’m in my own world. Something I’ve learned while researching about connection to nature is it’s really good for your health and can save your life. My message to viewers of my artwork would be simple and my message is just take a break from work and just go on a hike, eat lunch outside, etc.
