I have always loved to be creative.I never went to art school but I always wanted to try to paint. My mother could draw and I loved what she could create. I wanted to be able to do that, to inspire feelings and emotions through a visual imagery.But such is life, I had 3 children and got married young. Financial responsibilities and providing for my always took priority. I ended up going to school and receiving my degree in Business Administration.The corporate world was a means to an end but the stresses that had to be dealt with was just not worth my sanity. After many years of waiting, my kids are grown and I found the opportunity to start something just for me.I found a wonderful event called "Paint Nite" it was not a class but a fun way to learn.Since I already had started buying supplies to start as a hobby, I chose this as a first step in figuring out what to do and how to do it. The next step was online courses, learning how to mix colors and the basics of how to start the paintings.I started painting for friends as gifts, and then my friends insisted on paying for them. I found that to be the highest compliment I could receive, that someone I am close with wanted to pay me for what I created.After a year I decided I was happier painting then I was dealing with traffic and impossible demands from any "job". I decided I wanted more out of life, something I could look forward to doing, so I decided to make a life painting.I started with landscapes and have since started working with abstracts. Abstracts for me are therapeutic as I am the type of person who likes things just right and in line. This give me an opportunity to just do and not overthink.It was recommended that I start an Etsy store, which I have done. www.etsy.com/shop/BreaultArtCreations. I have listed my paintings on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist Sacramento.I also plan to attend local craft fairs in the near future.
