Nature inspires not just my writing, but also my art. I have been painting, drawing, and making a mess since I was two years old, and I don't plan on quitting. ever. Picasso once said: "The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web." I've included a set of works below with title, inspiration, medium, and location. :)
