How , and why did you start creating your art

I started creating as therapy but i always was very creative . Still create as hobby
And this process keeps my art unique
So what is the difference between. Art that is created to make a living and art created as hobby . I use the same quality products !

The difference is commitment into making your art into a business. I have painted independently of a professional career for close to forty years and casually explored what it would take to make the switch as a full time artist representing my artwork. Presently I am taking the steps into this goal as I sunset my career and eventually retire.
