Acrylic art on canvas.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in life around me. I love nature, barns, old structures, and beautiful pictures. If it moves me, then I want to try to capture it.
What would you do with $25,000?My husband unexpectedly passed in January with no insurance so I would handle final expenses. I would help family and friends in need (pay it forward, right?!), go visit my 92 year old father, and stock up my paints and canvases to bring more joy to my world and hopefully someone else's world as well.
