I'm most drawn to painting with acrylic because I love how each brush stroke adds emotion and depth. There is a freedom that comes with it, you can never go wrong, it feels limitless.
Where do you find inspiration?I stunned inspiration in everyday moments, emotions, the calm and the chaos in life. Most importantly the people I create for, their happiness and emotions inspire me.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the 25,000 by investing it in personal art studio. That way I could eventually share my love for art with my grandchildren and family.
