love money.

Inspiration.

Andy Warhol

i took printmaking in college and absolutely loved it. at first, i was not so fond but after i got the hang of it and made some prints that i love i soon became a huge fan. and therefore Andy Warhol is one of my inspirations.

Aubrey Beardsley

I love the use of lines, the flow of the ink. They seem very sensual and smooth. I am also a huge fan of contrast and the black on white is perfect, clean contrast.

Chuck Close

My freshman year of college, in Art Appreciation class, I had to do a paper about him. Since then he has been one of my favorite artists. I am so intrigued by all the detail in each square that makes up the portraits. It is something I have always wanted to do.

Georgia O'keefe

She paints flowers, usually close up and very colorful. Flowers are a subject that I love. I love to draw them, photograph them, paint them, smell them.....
