Creating is why I am here- when I paint or write it brings me closer to who I am-it reinforces my audacity to thrive-lifting myself & others

I love to paint in oils- when I really let myself free, with confidence in the way I intuitively create- it's the most satisfying and my best work.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the magic and essence of living- even the dark places inspire me to express myself creatively -writing, painting, even a doodle can inspire a great piece of work- never underestimate the power of a doodle. When I paint people-I can see and feel their many layers of experience, I translate it into the painting. My abstract koi oils they express everything that's hidden and they can inspire epiphanies. Art is the inspiration.
What would you do with $25,000?More paint, brushes & canvas!! I would love to frame some of my favorite pieces as well. I could use help with my online presence - be able to hire help would be amazing. I would also like to take a trip and paint for a month somewhere beautiful.
