Hello, I am a self trained artist. I live eat breath anything creative. I love to paint & do it every single day. I started painting when I was a little girl. My grandmother took me along to an oil painting class. I was 8 & I was hooked. My grandmother encouraged me to paint in my spare time & always supplied me with the tools to do so. She bragged about my first paintings showing them to her friends. I really developed a passion for painting in my early 20's. Don't get me wrong as a child I loved it too. I find painting to be therapeutic. It helps me to work out my emotions & that creative itch. I get inspired & just have to express the idea or feeling on to canvas. My journey has really started to pay off as far as the quality of my work. I can actually see that all that practice has proven to be successful. I have created some really beautiful pieces of art. It surprises me every time. It gives me a quite satisfaction to know that I created something so very beautiful. I still have a lot to learn. I am willing and ready and try everyday to learn something knew and grow my skills as an artist. I am just now trying to put my art out there for others to see. I feel ready now. I think that the expression of my creativity on canvas...
