I create to escape to a place of peace and love. A place were guns, violence, and rude people are not found. I create because I must.

Paintings from my imagination, using my creative energy. I use watercolor or oil to paint the scene in my mind, such a joyful way to create.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the classic art movements, the impressionists and modern art movements. I love Van Gogh and Jackson pollick and William Alexander. I gather information from my daily travels, and use them to create a scene. I find not copying a photo and not using a computer, but natural media watercolor or oil, brings me great inspiration. Painting from my mind not a pattern or tracing. Also plein air painting outside brings me much inspiration
What would you do with $25,000?Save it and buy more paint and pay off some bills I owe. Definitely buy more art supplies
