What Inspires You

I wanted to talk a little bit about inspiration and how exactly my style ended up being “my style”.  It is funny because I have been asked what genre it would fall under and honestly, I have no idea. It definitely did not start as any kind of style. In fact, I cannot say I was even very good at all at first, but I enjoyed painting because I was focused on one task and centered my creativity instead of thinking about twenty things at once, which is me on a day to day basis.  I mentioned in my About Me section of this website that I am completely self-taught, which might sound impressive, but trust me, I have been painting for over a decade and am just now figuring out my unique way of doing things.  In saying that, in the small business world today, if you want to expand and make your mark you have to evolve.  That means you have to come up with new ideas and keep applying your style or talents to each work whether it be painting like me or some other venture.
