Influences and Inspirations All artists are influenced by other artists. This influence can be seen in the various art movements throughout history. We are lucky to live in a unique and exciting period in art that allows us to draw from a variety of artists and art movements. The following artists have inspired me and influenced my work by their technique, use of color, lighting, allegorical nature, or even the sheer scale of the painting.
