I love creating bright and cheerful abstract pieces, using acrylic paint on canvas. Lately I have been into painting fruits and flowers.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from the small things in life. I have found joy in painting, I find it therapeutic, and it keeps me sane. I don’t often pre Plan my paintings, I let my brush hit the canvas, and let my imagination take over.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the money towards a down payment on a house.
