I love creating art for me. I don’t usually show, or advertise pieces I make past home decor. It’s one of the few things I still enjoy doing

I love painting. My husband was painting Warhammer 40K and I get to paint his miniatures and it reminded me how much I missed painting after taking lessons as a child.
Where do you find inspiration?I inspire myself by deciding my feelings need to be expressed, and painting is an amazing outlet for me. I apply my feelings directly to the canvas. I pour whatever memories associated with the feelings into the brush strokes as a reminder that I’m alive. Everyone else sees it as paint on canvas, but for me each painting has those memories boxed up, and that’s how I like it. It’s the one thing in life I get to be selfish with, and do it for me.
What would you do with $25,000?Personally, $25,000 would be life changing. My husband could have his health complications properly treated, I could finally start a small hobby/trading card game business with my husband, and we would finally be able to set ourselves up for a position to help those around us that have helped my husband and I during our hardships, and give back to the communities that were there for us, and have our car’s transmission replaced finally so we don’t have to rely on others anymore for transportation
