Artistic Heroes

These are five artists that influenced me with their art.

1. Leonardo DaVinci

Leonardo DaVinci is inspiring because he was talented in so many ways. He was a painter, sculptor. engineer, architect, and scientist. He is most famous for his paintings in Italian Renaissance, one of which is the Mona Lisa.

2. Ansel Adams
















I am inspired by Ansel Adams because of his conservation efforts and respect for nature and the natural beauty of our world which he captured in his landscape photography.

3. M.C. Escher










Escher's work is inspiring because his expressions challenge our perception of reality while teasing our brain. I think of his work as brain ticklers.

4. Jim Davis






Jim Davis is an inspiration because he created one of the greatest, coolest, cutest cartoon characters in history, Garfield. This is a character I try to model myself after.

5. Art Wolfe


Art Wolfe's wildlife photography is inspirational because he brings us images of wildlife, people, and environmental issues from all corners of the world. His images do the traveling for you.
