I started painting in acrylics in 2015. I was introduced to painting by an art therapist and find painting very relaxing. I work full-time, so I don't have as much time to spend painting as I'd like. I enjoy painting animals (usually just the heads) and abstract-type pieces most. I am also a digital art/AI art creator, and I am sharing many of those creations here. I believe AI is helping me improve my traditional acrylic painting, too. I'm working on painting some AI images by hand and then taking some of my paintings that aren't using an AI image as a reference and loading them into AI to see how it interprets my work. This way, no one can say there's not a part of me in my AI work as AI uses my work as a starting point.
