My favourite type of art would have to be painting. Photography is also another one that I enjoy. I love capturing pictures to paint. Watercolour is my preferred medium. I’m very interested to try Gouache paint. I enjoy pushing my limits on what to create. I try to dabble in a-lot of different art types. Even if it just once after I realize I don’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would.
Where do you find inspiration?My family and daughter. I enjoy creating artwork they can have to display or even just for them to admire. Nature gives me inspiration. The way animals move or do silly poses. How the sky and moon change with everyday. The different colours that appear from a photo or mind. Pinterest helps get my creative juices flowing. Seeing how other artists perform/ create pieces inspire me the most. I love how art can be anything you want it to be different for everyone that designs or creates.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put it away for a down payment on a house. I place where my art can be displayed. A space for my daughter, partner and I to express our love of art. Might buy a dream box to hold all my art supplies to help make my house cleaner. Honest I would help my mother with anything she might need or won’t spend on herself. This money would help our family so much. If I did not win I would be happy to have had the opportunity to show my art. Would be happy for anyone that did win.
