My favorite Art is Acrylic pours. Stacking paints in a cup & pouring them onto the canvas. It's pure Magic the wild organic creatures, cells & lacing that this technique creates . I meticulously mix my paint, with water & pouring mediums.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from my family, my mother & father were both very talented Artist. I had a very blessed childhood, my parents were wild, we made art as a family to sell at Roseville auction. Discovery Park was our home. My father was a welder & could create anything working with wood, resins, antlers skulls, fur, A painter, A farmer who built trikes & worked with bees. My mother was a master seamstress she made all of our costumes, a painter a singer. Mom & Dad inspire still.
What would you do with $25,000?I'd buy a good used car, I've been without since March of 2024, thinking $5000 to buy smog register & insure. Value is not measured by money in my world however it is a necessity. A good portion would go for Art materials aprox $5000. The rest would go to sustain life. My children are now Artists themselves who far exceed my talents. Thank you for the opportunity
