I create because something in me possesses me too. I can’t even explain it. Sometimes I feel like I’m possessed by a ghost or something!

I really enjoy looking at, and creating Illustration with watercolor. Surrealism with oil paint. Love me some dark art, nature scapes (sunset or sunrise) that’s when the lighting is best in my opinion, trees with flowers. Truly letting the imagination to take over. I have thousands of ideas but not enough time to create them All! Dark and cozy creepy is my fav :)
Where do you find inspiration?I mostly get inspiration from nature. I live in Pennsylvania. I am surrounded by lush nature, river banks, willow trees and pines. So nature is number 1 inspo. Also movies and shows and other artists. Tim Burton type movies. I like to have something on tv in the background while painting that inspires me, like What we do on the Shadows or Alice and wonderland, Harry Potter. What I like to call “cozy creepy” movies and shows. Other artists are also a huge inspo for me.. artists big and small.
What would you do with $25,000?Truly, I have no idea. I could use this money in a 100 different ways! Most likely I would put half in retirement (Roth IRA) Orrr purchase a new car because mine is hanging on by a THREAD hah!!! My very goooofy cousin told me to buy $25,000 worth of Johnny Depp cardboard cut outs 😆
