I don't have some grande story, I just remember doing all sorts of art during my childhood. I never really practiced, there isn't a story behind it. One time I won a poetry contest and got published in some poetry book when I was a teenager, but I don't even really write or particularly enjoy poetry. I've sculpted clay and paper mache, made barbie clothes from nothing but material, beads and a hot glue gun, painted with tempera paints, oils, watercolors, acrylics...and one time some random medical supplies that had a pretty blueish purple hue (I was a kid at the time). I've had a really long hiatus/block due to mental illness/depression, I'm just now trying to pick up where I left off after more than a decade of not doing much of anything creative. I also sing/dance, play piano/keyboard, and a little electric guitar. I'm not sure if architecture is considered art, but I'm into that too and plan on building my own home once I get the finances. I also am not a professional chef, but I cook fairly elaborate dishes sometimes and like experimenting in the kitchen/consider myself a foodie.

I am partially blind, with only some central vision left.
I started to learn cooking in the period I was diagnosed with RP, because I was moving away from my parents' to start studies in another city. Nowadays I love cooking, and I like to share my dishes with guests, friends and family especially in international contexts. I just need to be more organised in the kitchen, so that I keep a mental map of the kitchenware and I don't lose it from my view.
By the way, I never thought of cooking as a creative skill!
