I love to paint things that remind us how beautiful the world is. From a child’s smile, to a sunny spring day, there is joy all around us waiting to be captured.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my everyday life. When I keep an open mind that there’s something wonderful awaiting, I am always surprised with something I didn’t expect. I put those things into my art, from watercolor sketches to oil paintings to cement fleeting moments for future generations to see.
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off medical bills, student loans and get a new car.
