I love drawing , I started pencil sketching in journals and notebooks in grade school and added watercolor , ink pen , alcohol ink , gouache and fluid acrylic art then added my own style to the fluid acrylic and watercolor with pen / ink drawing . I mix the mediums often and also love adding cutouts from my practice pieces to mixed media collages then often add drawing to pull it together .I also love photography , especially sunsets , sunrises over the ocean
Where do you find inspiration?Nature, life experiences, learning from other artists and my own emotions as a release and creative outlet , expressing my feelings about the Often chaotic but very beautiful world
What would you do with $25,000?I’d probably buy art supplies and maybe see more of the world
