Starry Nights...

Happy Birthday and a HUGE thank you to Vincent Van Gogh who was born on this day in 1853.
Van Gogh's work is a infinite source of inspiration to my art.  He was a post-impressionist artist who's work not only moves me but has played a huge role on influencing the world of ART we know it today.
Vivid colors, understanding of light, the use of texture and the ability to draw out emotions through his art is displayed in all of his work.  
Cosmetics are not what drew me in to become a professional makeup artist: creation was and makeup became the medium that I seemed to have a natural flair of talent with and from this I could actually create a career from it. 
So I have.
 I love my career with every ounce of passion in me.
  From painting on the walls and eventually moving onto canvases, I am constant channelling my admiration for artists like Van Gogh when I create. That is one of the greatest pleasures in my work... The endless need and constant sourcing for inspiration.
The gifts that artists like Van Gogh have left behind for us are so important...
Our world needs it's dreamers to stay inspired ....
