Art pulls me out, crisp & slick, from the inside corridors of my troubled mind. Pulling the beauty from within, despite the darkness.

I connect with surreal images the most but I do gravitate towards classic elegant art as well. I enjoy painting women, birds & flowers within strange scapes. My desire for newness & the bizarre inspire me to tap into different realms of my vascillating consciousness, painting the compositions I discover existing within them.
Where do you find inspiration?In a kind of urge that surfaces inside of me. I can only create when I feel that pull. I'm drawn to the colors of the paint and themes that manifest in my mind.
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off loans used to re-create my life last year after a harsh wave of change. I financed a small piece of land in the Abita Springs woods with the hopes to create a healing & artistic space. I work with students with exceptionalities and I want to create an art garden for them to bask in ~ a peaceful art & nature space where they can make their own art if they feel inspired.
