I don't know why I started creating. just know I started before I could walk (apparently) I don't know how to stop. It's just a part of me.

Landscapes out of my mind really. Sort of surrealistic ideas painted in an impressionist inspired style. Hopefully that explanation makes some kind of sense to someone. I really don't know how to describe my art as it does seem to change a lot
Where do you find inspiration?Oh lawd! EVERYWHERE! I have ideas in my head all the time. It never stops. Sometimes it is even annoying . It's in there with ideas for stories to write and probably every song I have ever loved...along with a few I don't. That's a lot of music and words .. and soooooo many visions. Maybe I am not an artist, maybe I'm just insane? I am cool with that so long a I keep creating.
What would you do with $25,000?I have a bunch of painful chronic illnesses which makes it impossible for me to hold down a 'regular' job. Here in my province we have a program that I am on that enables me to pay bills and feed myself but not much more. I have a younger sister that has helped me out a couple of times so I would like to pay her back. I would also like to pay back a loan I have completely and pay for my funeral expenses so that she won't have to worry. Then some art supplies!! I never have enough for them!
