Being an artist, its no surprise I look to art and other artists for inspiration. Learning about so many in school was a big bonus for me. Unlike many, I actually loved art history and got excited when a new paper was assigned. Looking into the lives of other creative people is awesome.

I have many favorite artists but here are a few I would like to share. Hopefully, their work inspires you to do create something beautiful. Check out my Pinterest board to see more work from these artists and more.
