I am a self-taught artist, and proud of it. I've never had a single lesson.  I truly follow my heart when it comes to what goes on a canvas. Picasso said "I begin with an idea, and then it becomes something else." That's pretty much how I roll.  What I lack in formal education I make up for in passion. 

Acrylic paints are my jam and a pallet knife is my weapon of choice.  There is a freedom in the broad swooshes and limitless strokes that are demanded from that style of painting. The process is never certain, and the layers are magic.

A little surprising but so true.   I'm talking about INSPIRATION!  All creative work is inspired by what came before.  There are a few artists that make me say "I want to be you when I grow up".  I am grateful for their crazy talent and abounding inspiration.
