I love to create art because it makes me happy and if it makes other people happy, even better.

Mixed media and painted furniture, decoupage.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere, if I'm down at the Mississippi River and I see a great sunset I will want to paint that. Some people see an old end table or an old cigar box I see something that I can turn into an awesome end table or cigar box with decoupage or different paint colors.
What would you do with $25,000?First I would give some away to those who I know need it, then I would take a couple trips to see my adult children who all live far away and give them some of it. Then I would take half of whatever is leftover and invest it in a worthy cause. Then with the rest I would just live life with my significant other Jeff and enjoy it buy some more art supplies to make more art.
