I use painting as an outlet to customize, emulate and inspire. In the morning I paint to embody the mantra “create before consume”.

My favorite type of art to create is acrylic painting, it forces me to use my skill and not second guess strokes. I love that with paint your canvas can be anywhere or anything. Lately my muse has been canvas tote bags! But a barstool, a sweatshirt, and a pot for plants hate to see me coming.
Where do you find inspiration?Honestly a lot of my inspiration comes from Pinterest. I’m a visual person, when I see things I like I think “ I can recreate this” and as an artist I personalize it, it being a collage of all the things I find beautiful. I love pastels, metallic accent lines, I love painting my photographs. Or making things for loved ones feeling inspired by what they like and desire.
What would you do with $25,000?With 25000 I would try to avoid the statistics of most lottery winners and invest $5000 into a high yeild savings account. I would use the money to move to a better place where I feel less fearful and more “bored” priming my environment to keep creating and adding beauty and personalization to anything I touch or dwell. An inspiring home, curating meals, hosting craft nights.
