I find so much inspiration in the work of other artists! I have two watercolor friends that I find myself constantly referring to for new ways of looking at art, and their styles could not be more different! They are Natasha, The Mightier Pencil, and Ohn Mar Win. They've both been using a technique where they apply paint to the paper before doing the "real" painting. Natasha told me she was actually inspired by Ohn Mar, so it's all full circle! I gave it a try and painted a whimsical bird that I really love!
Go follow my friends!

You are my muse. I have had a tragic few years, from covid to bad illness to being trapped in a house fire and coma. My councillor suggested art and I stumbled on your videos. I am excited at your pieces and techniques and use them as inpiration for my own. I was always scared of watercolor and now Im excited from project to project. Thank you so much for your hard work and just being an honest beautiful lady. I am a huge fan now and maybe someday you will see some of my pieces on your travels. Huge hug and heartfelt Thank You.

I just found you yesterday during a YT search for neurographic art. I couldn’t stop watching your videos! You are wonderfully delightful! Your enthusiasm is infectious. I appreciate how you make art so simple, keeping it fun & joyful. I dusted off my watercolors today & made my first picture in years….just for the fun of it. We adults can make things much too serious 😊 Thank you for reminding me how to play again. Much appreciation to you & plz keep doing this work. You are making a difference in people’s lives far more than you know. Blessings! ❤ 🙏

You inspire me so much. As an artist I lost my mojo last year but your enthusiasm and lack of self criticism make me want to start trying new things. I love the fact you say things like "I love this" & "this is so pretty" because all I ever do is put myself down and I'm bored of it, now its time to say "isn't this great?" 😁 (Plus, your hair is faaaab! 😄) ❤
