It makes my eyes water. Sometimes my heart feels sentimental and even sad when I create. It stains my hands. Still I can’t live without it.

I love watercolor and pencil best.
Where do you find inspiration?I grew up on a farm and I still live on that farm. The farm provides endless inspiration with animals, crops, sunshine and clouds. The people around me are beautiful and inspire me. My family inspires me, even the legendary members of my family who I’ve only heard stories of.
What would you do with $25,000?I would continue to paint and draw with some of it. I dream about having dedicated studio space. I would love to host a retreat that has an art theme and encourages others to create and enjoy. I’d try to share some of it.
