Macaws II Painting

I like to paint in acrylics and watercolors. Most of the subjects I paint come from nature or everyday life. I often tend to use colors that are a bit brighter than what is recommended. I like the paintings to be vibrant. I strive for realism but I don’t fight off the occasional touch of whimsy. I come from a very artistic family. So, I am surrounded by artists who have influenced, inspired, and taught me. I sold my first commissioned piece in high school. I’ve been working as an artist ever since.
