I love creating art because it's a visual representation of one's style. Art allows for experimentation and offers great challenges.

While I would primarily consider myself a portrait artist, I enjoy exploring genres and styles as well. I love to make portraits for people because I often include them as part of the process and it can be a very satisfying experience once done. Additionally, I enjoy experimenting with free form art. By using an ink pen I start with a single shape and branch out until spaces are filled. The next shape created is influenced by the previous decisions made.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from seeing how art can impact the emotion of others. It is a feel good moment seeing people of all ages whether they're an adult or child and they point at an art piece and say "look at that!" That is what makes me want to continue making art.
What would you do with $25,000?If I were to get the $25,000, it would help immensely in taking my art path further. I would put it towards getting into future art shows where there could be an entry fee. In addition, a portion of it would be put it into acquiring more art materials that I currently do not own or have never had the opportunity to experiment with and would expand my toolkit.
