I love creating a painting that captures an emotion or energy of how I’m feeling in the moment. Putting all my love, desire, doubts, pain into one physical object. I also enjoy taking photographs when I’m walking or traveling to new places that captures the essence of that time and space. My perspective of experiencing something new and fleeting. Creating is a catharsis of turning an emotion into something tangible that I can look at and find inspiration in latter. A time stamp of life.

I find inspiration and beauty everywhere I look. Taking walks, nature, new people and places, music, color, texture, patterns. My inspiration comes from a deep desire to express my emotions and experiences of life. Whether it be joy or pain, I feel that creating makes life worth living. To share one’s gifts openly, is giving other people permission to express themselves in their own unique way.

I would first pay off debt and then I would book a ticket to Paris, France and travel southern France. Particularly Provence. I have a dream of riding a bicycle with a basket in the front; through lavender fields. I would take a ton of photos and write inspirational quotes about how dreams do come true.
