I love art, and I love taking my time when doing something that I love to do.
I also love how I feel when I put 110% effort into whatever it is that I'm doing. I strive to get that feeling as much as possible, because there is nothing else like it.
It does cause me stress sometimes... majority of the time, to be honest... but when I cross that finish line and look back at all of the hard work that I have done, I feel absolutely amazing. Even though I make take longer to accomplish a task, I know that the work that I do is worth the wait.

How do I explain myself...?
Most of the time, my schedule is filled with school, homework, sports, work, yada yada yadaa... I'm usually a very busy girl. I rarely ever have time to do any artwork purely for my pleasure.
What I've recognized over the years is that when I am working on an artsy-sort-of-project (for school), the project acts as a stress-reliever for me.
Many people who know me would never believe that that's true.
I'm not gonna lie, I do put pressure on myself to make school projects as perfect as possible... it's just who I am, what can I say? But if you were to watch me working on an artsy school project, you'd probably take it as uneccessary stress.
I can picture it. And I've heard it before.
Numerous times.

"Umm, how aren't you done with that yet??
Not every single little detail has to be so perfect, Morgan.
You're gonna get an good grade with what you have, just move on already."
My response?
"You just don't get it."

Alright so here's the deal...
Ever since I was a little girl, I have been in love with art.
In kindergarten, you could bet 9 out of 10 times that I was going to be the last one in class to finish with an artsandcraftsproject.
This repeated throughout my elementary, intermediate, and middle school years, and it didn't stop there. Now 18 years old, I still feel that I am that same little girl that I used to be when it comes to artwork.
I can easily get lost in time when working with any type of art. My mind escapes into a different world. It's like when you're in the middle of a daydream--your mind is only semi-awake; it's not completely asleep, yet it's not fully in tune with reality, either. Think about it.. daydreaming starts with either a thought, memory, or future fantasy; then, your imagination runs freely. That's what I tend to do with my artwork. I begin with a simple subject and then use my CrEaTiVitY to turn it into something powerful.

A Little Bit of Me
SUPPP. my name's morgan. some call me morg. some call me moh. some call me morgyporgy, morgana, m.blue, morgalicious, montana, morgamuffin, morgasm (<<innappropriate, i know.), morgala, morgamoo, morgiiee, or twin #2. whatever floats your boat. take your pick.
In order to describe myself to you in the simplest way possible, I couldn't use my own words. My words would probably result in an essay. Ew.
So this took some thinking.
And then...

There's gift that I recieved from a family friend when I was just a weee little girl; it stays on my dresser above my bed every night. It's a picture frame with writing on left side and a photograph of "little me" on the right. Written on the left are the characteristics that come from the Welsh roots of my name. *(keep in mind -- that I was given this gift before I was even potty-trained!) The reason why I cherish this gift so much is because the characteristics listed are coincidentally the same ones that I possess today. Talk about serendipity.
So here it is, a little bit of me:
