Oil Painting

About the Artist

My creative art is a way for me to express myself, stay curious, and appreciate the beauty around me. I enjoy painting many different things, but sparrows are one of my favorite subjects because as a child my family traveled many different places and you could see sparrows in different countries in the world. I enjoy capturing the small details that make each bird special. Acrylic and oil painting are my favorite mediums because of their rich colors. I love trying new projects, learning along the way, and letting my creativity grow.
