I have always felt connected to nature and I always notice the little, beautiful details it has to offer. I wanted to capture its beauty through a variety of mediums. Chinese art and culture also inspired me through the art forms of calligraphy and paper cutting. Aidan W. My pieces are inspired by the novel Ella Enchanted, by Gail Carson Levine, a story I have loved for many years. The imagery is so stunning that it practically paints itself – I just helped it out a little. Kimberly D. I tend to draw inspiration for my pieces from subtle things in everyday life that catch the eye. In addition, the human face and the uniqueness of each individual person is a large inspiration behind my artwork. Victoria H. Anything and everything. To me, normal is extraordinary. Water, which is taken for granted constantly, inspires me. Water has no shape and can create any form. It can go from one state of matter to the next and back again. If that’s not extraordinary, then I don’t know what is. Andrew I.
