I don’t make art to be understood- I make it to feel less alone

I am a large scale mixed media portrait artist with my primary medium being watercolor
Where do you find inspiration?As an artist specializing in painting, I want the images I paint to be the headliner that stands out and shines. I recognized it when I painted my first portrait, “Unearth.” Capturing an individual’s appearance and personality through a painting is raw and magical. It is that ability to depict not only the physical but also psychological characteristics. There is something satisfactory in that process of observation (maybe even masturbatory – of course, in the symbolic sense of this word)
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to further my practice. Take time away from my full time job and solely focus on my project that I’ve been wanting to create for years and that I’m finally ready to tackle it
