**A Short story of KimBuckToo & A4diteDoodles*
Art has been my companion since I was three years old, when I first picked up colors and started to draw. Raised as an only child, I often found solace in creativity. At fourteen, my mother gave me my first set of oil paints, and my world transformed. I vividly remember painting Mount Fuji that year; the mesmerizing scent of oil paint, linseed oil, and turpentine, combined with the rhythmic swish of the brush on the canvas, became a love affair that shaped my creative spirit. Oils have remained my steadfast friends through the years, offering both comfort and inspiration. Bob Ross, with his joyful wisdom and gentle teaching, was my early mentor, teaching me techniques that sparked a deeper sense of wonder.
Today, my art serves as a means of exploring and inspiring emotions. Each piece is a reflection of my inner world, often focusing on the emotions I need to work on the most. Through color, form, and texture, I delve into feelings of joy, peace, courage, and healing, using the creative process as both a mirror and a tool for growth. My work invites viewers to connect with their own emotions, offering a sense of shared humanity and transformation.
As I continue to evolve, I blend photography, oils, acrylics, and found objects to craft pieces that defy reality and celebrate imagination. My art is a celebration of creativity, a reflection of dreams, and an invitation for others to unlock their fullest potential. It stands as a bridge between my personal journey and the shared emotions of those who encounter it.
