Character art and illustrations. Also illustrations that depict what would have been unreal like what an enchanted forest would look like with a green mist moving about. I love portraits also. With my education I’ve come to appreciate pop art and the screen printed look. One day I will have a screen printer. Another tool for my studio.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere. Anywhere. Most of all nature. I’m obsessed with learning about light and color and I’m actively remembering restraint. Oh and I’m experimenting a lot with mica powders and nail salon finishes and techniques. For a sexy high end looking finish.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put a down payment on a house for my family. (We’ve been struggling for so long and I’ve taken over with a plan I believe will work better for us. I’m giving myself a professional glow up. A pro up. I’m moving us into a house with a garden, a dog and a cat and a fenced yard cause my youngest needs a safe place to play outside and explore safely. I also will invest in my website and online business selling my work in various formats. I’m showing my children how to command their lives.
