To express the emotion that is hard to bring out in just words and in a different expression to others. Art can say a million words.

My choice of medium is oil paint. It’s been a long time since I have been able to get paints and have the space to. If I don’t have oil I go with pencil, either color or lead. Ball point pens and watercolors are also a fun favorite of mine. I like to experiment with many kinds of mediums and materials to see what I can create and how my style changes with different types. Different canvases also play a part in what type of medium I use. I have also dabbled in digital art.
Where do you find inspiration?From the world around me. I grew up with Alice in wonderland and adoring Ralph steadmans work. Picasso, Monet, Lernardo, Vincent Van Gogh, have all been art styles that I have seen and live the style of. Ralph has been my fixation the last few years after getting a signed Lernardo book of his for my birthday from my Fiancé. I have a lot of inspiration from peoples faces and tend to lean more towards self portraits when I am feeling a bit lost and wanting to be creative.
What would you do with $25,000?Honestly, first I would buy the oil paints, the pencils I have been dying to use. A art medium subscription for a year to keep up with my art and creativity. Then the left over would help with my debt to be able to keep up with art and living life to its fullest. I am getting married in a couple years and I would love to have the option to go to a place like Spain or Romania to explore the art there for a honeymoon.
