I love to create landscapes, either from reality or from my imagination. They are my little pieces of happy places and places that I have been or would love to be able to escape to. Nature at its best and sometimes it's worst but always some place beautiful to me. I love to paint landscapes of various places and seasons.
Where do you find inspiration?In everything around me. I see inspiration in everything could be a mess of a room or a group of people in a chaotic environment or the calm of a baby napping or the quiet after a storm. It could be a parent walking with their child thru the busy city and they stop to fix their blanket or pick up a toy. OR In the forest it could be a lighting bugs flickering on a warm Summer night. There's art and inspiration in everything..theres endless possibilities to create and make art everywhere!
What would you do with $25,000?I would take care of some debt first and foremost! Also I would take a road trip as well because I haven't seen a lot of the country and there's so many beautiful landscapes I would love to see and also capture photos of so I can have for inspiration and ideas. I would also get my mom something 😊
