Art journaling had its roots in my life around 1994, the morning of my father's funeral, but I didn't have a name for it till 2000. My earliest memory of developing my art was in middle school as I sat at my desk drawing, and friends would ask me to give them my drawings because they found them fascinating. I did not see why I should keep those drawings to myself because I was putting my emotions on paper. Every day I spent in secondary school was challenging, and as I later found out, art was my emotional outlet for dealing with the challenges I faced daily. As the years rolled by, I gravitated to this art journaling whenever I was under tremendous stress or an intense emotional state.
