Watercolor and acrylic paints make me giddy! Landscapes and old barns are my happy place because I can travel anywhere I want to go by painting it into life.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere! I take hundreds of photos of nature in its seasons, sometimes I drive past an old farm and see the barns ready to fall down like they're ready to retire after sheltering animals and tractors until they have given their all.
What would you do with $25,000?Invest in a good mentorship, like with a master watercolorist and buy the best materials. I want to have a booth at Art on the Square in Belleville Illinois (my hometown) with artists I respect!
