It’s the hardest and I’m not sure this is a type of art..with finding a hidden talent which helped me mentally so much. I try to do realistic. I’m working on expanding my art! I usually end up finding a piece and try to start off of that!
Where do you find inspiration?Anywhere and everywhere. I push to do unique and not like everyone else. A lot of my paintings, my parents show up and I cry, and let them help push me to achieve a masterpiece! I’ve also had a spot in my basement sitting empty and I knew that spot was gonna be something one day. It’ll be mine and that’s my studio!!! My happy place! My go to place.
What would you do with $25,000?Wow..first probably faint! With the last couple years I’ve had!! But I’d love to get a tiny home going which is a dream of mine and build it with my brother. And leave my home town to start fresh!
