    So many of us have different things that inspire us to create our art for what we love. When it comes to what inspires me for my photography it's being around nature and seeing certain things from different perspectives that some of us might not see. Sometimes it can be something as simple as a leaf on the ground that can bring me inspiration because it's all in how you capture something that can turn the ordinary into something extraordinary. The best inspiration can come to you when you least expect it and that's what brings your art to life.

    What are some of the things that inspire you to create your art for what you love?

    I take my inspirations from real life; it can come from anything really.

    Just the other day I got inspired for an acrylic painting by a very pretty handbag :) -you can see it on the photo- The colors of that bag pulled me. I found myself visualizing a painting with those colors, instantly!

    Also the feelings and the times that we live are big inspirations for my art. I like expressing my feelings on some object or animal while painting. My feelings change my point of view while seeing and creating things, and it becomes very very visible! For example, in my depression period I painted a blue elephant with a ‘poker face’, behind bars, in a very bright and cheerful environment. It was literally how I was feeling in those times. And it shows!

    What inspired me with that painting was my feelings and what I was going through in that period.

    Emotions and colors are very very big inspirers for me. They force me to create and paint new work!

    When I experience lots of emotions, when I am vulnerable, when I feel love and pain, when I listen to the laughter of children, when I just try to live life without worry and open myself to the present. I FEEL INSPIRED.
    This is difficult but when I do, I write best and the beautiful words fall into the pages of my notebook.

    I tend to derive my inspiration from the surroundings. Nature is need a free book to view from. I stretch even further and look up the skies. Cloud formations and their ever-changing forms create such beautiful artworks.

    What inspires me to create art is basically wanting to stand out and be different. I like to think outside the box. For example, I just bought a new 2014 Chevrolet Equinox. I am all about art and design so I wanted a name tag in front of my jeep. So, I started looking around locally at vehicles that had names tags but only with their names, short quotes, or a small graphic (rose). Well seeing these different tags triggered the creative art and design side of me. I decided to design a name tag with no name but with my picture instead with designs around the picture and I found a stylish plate to go over it. My creative side is what sets me apart from everyone else and that's by creating art and design that I wouldn't normally see.
