Painting has been a hobby of mine since high school. The elective art class was only for a quarter but in that time the teacher introduced me to a variety of mediums that I genuinely enjoyed playing with. Clay, stamps, gouache, oils, soft pastels… The one that has stuck with me through the years has been acrylic paints.
I am by no means a good painter. There will be no awards or having my work posted in public but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying the art form. And I believe that if I were to take the time and effort I could become good. Maybe even good enough to sell one day. For the time being I am satisfied with my mom being my biggest fan.
My biggest inspiration when painting comes from nature. Landscapes, specifically ones with the moon, are my favorite thing. Sunsets, mountains, trees, reflections, and faraway views… All of these bring me joy (even if I haven’t figured out shadows and depth).
Stay tuned for more pictures of my artwork!
