I love painting in oil, always did. Acrylics are dead to me.
Where do you find inspiration?Mostly my thoughts, then I start googling weird human poses, and once I find the one that somehow resonates with my ideas, I start to distort it, and play with perception.
What would you do with $25,000?I should say that I would invest and set my future in some way, but in reality I would help my husband get his passport faster and fly us to an unforgettable adventure somewhere abroad for a few months of non stop traveling, gathering inspiration and make more art.
