I make art because I enjoy being creative. I make it for fun. It demands me to create, so I do. It gives me a feeling of self freedom.

I love watercolor and colored pencils. I started recently playing with oil pastels. I sometimes like photography. Mixed media is ok. I'm currently learning how to draw to improve my skills. I started finally leaning into myself own style and testing what I can do. Sometimes I feel like it's impressionism. Sometimes it seems a tad abstract.
Where do you find inspiration?Everything I guess. My inner world, the outer world, My spiritualty. I really don't know. My second husband took the kids out for the day and they came home to find a painting of a fairy in the woods painted on one of kitchen cabinets' door. Why? I don't know. No one ask why. No one talked about it. Did they like it? Did they hate it? Art doesn't need a reason to explain why.
What would you do with $25,000?A bigger home. I'm currently living in a minivan cargo van. Or fix the van up so I can be more comfortable and travel.
