I absolutely love to paint. It brings me such joy to see my visions come to life in a painting. So relaxing and rewarding to create art.

Anything to do with my home, my state, family or just about anything to do with water.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my imagination and any body of water. Seeing a beautiful sunset on a beach or reflections on the water from either the moon or the sun. My biggest inspiration is just the love I have for painting and the absolute joy it brings me to create my own visions.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won the $25,000.00, I would put half of it towards helping my family, my kids. Yes they are adults and work very hard at their jobs, but with high prices of everything and having little ones, it breaks my heart to see them struggle,so a little bit would help them. The rest would be partly puy in savings after I would purchase any art supplies I have desperately needed, some more paints, canvases, a decent painting easel and maybe a few more brushes. I dont like to spend $ on myself usually.
