Creating has always been a part of me. It was my escape, it gives me purpose. It is something no one can take away. Thank you

Usually I create through paint, but I also make pottery and other crafts. But using oil and acrylic medium is my first love. Lately I love to make Christian paintings. I feel there is a lot of people seeking spiritual guidance and inspiration.
Where do you find inspiration?Nature is a biggie, but I get inspired by what I see in the media. What people are experiencing. The mood of people, there has been a lot of stressful stuff. But there is always beauty to be found. Sometimes we need to bring it to their attention. But I will look at interior design and fashion. Images will just click and I will make it my own.
What would you do with $25,000?Probably home improvement. Money has been tight. I try to do a lot of it myself. I have painted my walls and cabinets and I have also resurfaced my counter tops with epoxy.
