Artist Statement: I make art to show my appreciation for the world around me. I believe that there is beauty in everything, it just needs to be sought out. That concept is what inspired this drawing. There is a certain sense of wonder and relaxation that comes with a well-decorated room, and that emotion is absolutely wonderful to me. To display that idea, I compiled many personal interests and objects that make me happy, and drew them in a singular space. I made sure to artistically render many different textures and colors to make the drawing more inviting, interesting, and dynamic. While the goal of this piece was to make a room that I would personally love to be in, I also wanted to give anyone viewing this drawing the same sense of elation I experience when taking the time to enjoy the little things that make life great.
