“CS…I wish so much he would do more with his art. It’s a gift. He says it is just a fun thing for him.” - Nothing wrong wrong with that.
DS, a gifted musician, was the same way with music. Formalizing it with music academics would have zapped away the joy. Instead he wove music into many of his engineering projects and participated in music EC on campus. Music provided a wonderful counterbalance to the intense academics.
