Most of my inspiration comes from a deep feeling that I get, almost like a spark. I can't describe it well but some action, event, color, image gets stuck in my head and I begin to obsess over it. The obsession generates my inspiration for a painting and pull out my materials and start creating. I don't typically pencil in my paintings, I usually let the feeling guide what comes next.
The same feeling happens with photography - I see an image that I want to remember and I snap a few pictures at the right angle until I'm able to recreate the feeling when I see it again. I love colors too, certain colors give me a joyful feeling - that same obsession I get when I get inspired to paint. I want to generate more of that feeling so I've started this website as a means for inspiration. I also want to paint more often, like my grandmother did.
