1. Why do I make this type of art? During Covid like many of us, we were bored at least I know I was. I live out in the country and I started watching Bob Ross on TV. He made it look so simple, so I bought some brushes and paint and started painting on old framed pictures you could buy from 2nd hand stores. I was eventually told not to do that for the longevity of my paintings and for better quality to paint on wood or canvas’. I make this type of art because I see so many things I’d like to give my spin on. This is why my tagline is Once Upon a canvas…
2. My artwork represents God. Everything He gives us, Blesses us with, shares with us. He inspires me to paint what I do and often my work is Titled with credit to Him.
3. Color inspires me, I paint a lot of water scenes as water is always moving and always changing. Giving color movement is what inspires me.
4. My art is part of me, it’s just something I NEED to do. If I don’t like something I paint over it, but I’m always learning and trying new things, it is a great outlet.
