Hi!
My inspiration comes from the outdoors–nature offers insight into many beautiful creatures and designs if you take the time to look. I often turn to the environment for drawing and sketching and enjoy exploring the mountains and forests where I live.
Painting is my way of relaxing and meditating–I often lose myself in creating something and will not be satisfied until it is finished. I have been painting furniture that I have found in a variety places since I was in high school, including my parent’s attic and abandoned on the side of the road. I enjoy using bright colors and intricate details as I feel they reflect a part of my personality–someone who is energetic, fun-loving and passionate.
The name “Willough Designs” comes from the name of one of my llamas, Willoughby, who has always managed to be a source of geniune whimsy.
