Painting and creating has been something I’ve always grown up around. My family
is full of talented and artistic individuals, they have always been a source of my
inspiration. I am drawn to creative outlets such as painting and sewing to escape the daily grind. A deeper connection came after my beloved grandfather, Poppy Doc, passed away. Poppy Doc was a brilliant and colorful artist with an equal love for gardening. I miss him dearly but each time I pick up a brush and paint the
flowers I know he adored, I am immediately connected back to him.
