“Life is like a camera. Just focus on what's important, capture the good times. Develop from the negatives and if things don't work out- just take another shot.”

About this piece: When searching for inspirational quotes, this one just struck me. Such a simple idea and a fun way to talk about looking on the bright side of things and persevering through the tough times. Painting a camera to go with this quote seemed like it would be fun to paint.

Where they find inspiration: For my artwork; usually nature and everyday objects that people would normally overlook. Sometimes you have to look for the beauty right around you! For everyday inspiration; my family and my students- they keep me going and keep me making art.
