My Inspiration

I am constantly inspired by 16th and mid 19th century artists! Classical Realism, as a style, has always spoken to me. I remember, as a child, seeing a poster of a painting of two cherubs holding eachother, and being completely enamored by the look of it.

"Cupid and Psyche as Children"
Oil on Canvas
William-Adolphe Bouguereau - 1890


Little did I know, at the time, that the painting I admired so much as a child, was by none other than William-Adolphe Bouguereau, who would come to be my biggest artistic inspiration as an adult.
