What drives you to make art?

I want to learn. Everything. I have only ever wanted to learn, and to learn deeply. It's the only thing I've ever felt good at.
But what good is knowledge not put to use? Painting, being able to apply all that I've come to understand along with each coat of paint, and finally share so another may learn too: that's why I make art. Why I want to continue to make art, and to develop into something more than a student.
