"I love to create – It is when I feel most alive. I am motivated to capture my own interpretation of joy, color, and textures. I love to draw and cannot remember a time when I didn’t. I see so much beauty in the world, in my family, nature, and friends. The world can feel heavy and hard sometimes but creating makes me feel at once calm, and I find myself wanting to return to it again and again." -Callie Luhrman
