I love to create pastels and oils and acrylic paintings on canvas that expresa feeling of peace, love, spirituality, and sensuality. My favorite subjects are women expressing feelings.I also create a lot of portraits of famous people who have made a positive impact on the world. I love to capture the energy and emotion.
Where do you find inspiration?I am inspired by beauty, sensuality, spirituality, and emotion. Whether it be a woman’s body, expression and energy or the eyes of a child,or the beautiful wrinkles of an elder.I want to express the essence of the soul. the human spirit is what I’ve always desired to capture and have the viewer feel the emotion. I look to heal with the Art using color and my own divine energy.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 towards a space for six months to a year where I can create freely.I paint in my small bathroom with no ventilation from these toxic fumes. I’ve never had a space where I can work on multiple paintings and invite people in.That is my greatest desire and to purchase art supplies, and use the money towards upgrading my presentation as an artist, I would have art classes for children as well in the studio space.
