Why did you start coloring and does coloring help you with any issues or medical conditions you deal with? 
            When my son was 2 and started to color I realized how much I enjoyed it and about that time I started to see articles about adult coloring books and jumped right in.

What would you recommend to anyone thinking about beginning the adventure of coloring?
            DO IT!!! Find images that you really love and go for it. There are no rules, experiment. Your creations can be as realistic or fantastical as you want. The relaxation and focus are great too but, it's the creative expression that drew me in.

Is there anything else that you would like to share?
            I'm an artist. I paint and draw regularly but, coloring gives me a creative outlet when I can't do either of those.
