Currently my favorite art to create is photography of the garden I have grown from scratch, it was a garden I started with my father in law, in october of last year he found out he had terminal cancer, and I was his full time caretaker after he decided to go on at home hospice, he died on January 5 of this year, my dad’s birthday, the garden fully died after he did due to winter storms. It miraculously regrew plants we planted last year, photographing it and turning it into his memorial garden
Where do you find inspiration?I find the inspiration looking at every bit of teeming life that is in the garden, the mesmerizing colors, biodiversity and beauty captivates ‘the journey’ or the ‘experience’ and makes the grief less heavy, it makes me feel connected to my father in law as well as giving me an artistic outlet with something i started from the bottom up
What would you do with $25,000?Pay rent, backrent and pay overdue utilities and debt for my husband and I that we accumulated during our time caring for my FIL, who passed waiting on his disability. I would love nothing more than to make this year a little easier on my husband
