I create art because it brings me peace and let's me spread joy beyond myself.

I love painting botanicals and fruits, in most mediums but I have recently been enjoying gouache the most! I find oil painting to be the most challenging, but also most rewarding medium to work with. My roots are in watercolor painting, so I often find myself going back to watercolor when I need something steady.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere! The grocery store, my kitchen, Pinterest, on walks, etc. I think I have over 1000 reference pictures saved on my phone!
What would you do with $25,000?Wow! What would I do with 25k? This is a huge question! I have never experienced having this amount of money. I think the first thing I would do with it is put some of it away in savings, but use the rest to buy my husband a new vehicle. He currently drives a 1998 Mazda pickup that is falling apart, and he works so hard for our little family. I would like to repay him if I could!
