I am from San Jose CA. Currently living in Oklahoma. My favorite place on earth is the beach. It’s funny how I ended up in a place with no ocean.
My father and my grandmother are artist’s. I never once thought of myself as having any artistic ability. I just thought it skipped a generation! One stressful day a close friend (JW) encouraged me to “do something creative.” As I searched my thoughts for something “creative” to do I found a craft paint set in the garage covered in dust. It was intended to be a Christmas present for my daughter. Apparently forgot about. I opened the paint set it only had one brush, I hoped to find some peace. That was in July 2013, I have been painting every day since.
I still have stressful days (my husband and I have an autistic son) I count on my painting to take me from this reality. After painting I feel rejuvenated, and ready to tackle the next battle.
