Acrylics are great when you want to move quickly, layer fast. Oils, on the other hand, let you slow down—blend, adjust, and really sit with the piece over time. And sketching ties it all together; it sharpens your eye, helps you plan compositions, and lets you explore ideas without pressure.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from the beauty of nature and the stories found in people, places, and the details of everyday life.
What would you do with $25,000?This prize would help sustain me through retirement and give me the opportunity to continue creating art, which remains an important part of my life and well-being.
