Making art that makes other smile is my pride and joy. If I can create something that brings happiness to someone else, best feeling ever!

I love to do anything that has to do with fantasy. I like to find magic in the everyday world. Random stump to everyone else? That’s were a Fae creature has made a shop to sell human trinkets in my minds eye! Forest with random little creak passing through? Nope I see rainbows from were magic had been leaking into our world. I love to capture those with all types of art forms. Watercolor, acrylic, pen/pencil, digital art, singing/playing instruments I love it all honestly.
Where do you find inspiration?I always loved to read fantasy books. So I think that has something to do with some of my art, but I find it when I’m in the woods near my house as well. I’m also inspired by the people around me who get joy out of my art. A few of my paintings are in a therapist office that I work with, and she tells me all the time about her clients having a sense of joy and peace when they look at them. That makes my heart so happy and full.
What would you do with $25,000?I honestly have no idea but also so many ideas! A big part of me wants to make my own studio where I can craft, play musical instruments, do MY art and maybe have some of my autistic children that I work with be able to have a place that they can also learn a way to express and share their feelings.
