Let me start by saying my name is pronounced Nuh-tush not No-tush and I am 25, reside in NC and have an enthusiasm for art of all types. I enjoy creating it, viewing it and hearing it. I have a respect for every art form. Even cave man drawings. I am an independent person hints the name Independent Artistry. I like the outdoors, long walks on the beach etc..... Art and I started a long, long time ago with the act of creating music and progressed into painting. I am proud to say I am self taught in painting and music. I think being self taught keeps one’s art original and unique to their personality and not their teacher’s. I get most of my inspiration from nature. I like how it is so free and spontaneous. I am also inspired by philosophical ideas and beliefs. My art and music is an expression of who I am, and the act of creating is what keeps me balanced. I live to paint and create music.
