I can't just sit with one type. I often try and dabble with different types of art, with my current obsession acrylic painting. I'm too impatient and indecisive for oils and so I've been experimenting with acrylics. I've really come to enjoy painting on small wooden tokens, they have become a type of 'sit and breathe' when the world becomes chaotic. But I guess the answer would be: Whatever type I can loose myself in and to just exist in the moment.
Where do you find inspiration?Everything, Everywhere, Existence itself. From the laughter of those around me, to the mourning deep in my heart. From the everyday moment when the world just happens to catch the sunlight just right to capture my attention, to the trash in the gutter once useful, but now just discarded.
What would you do with $25,000?Idealistically I would invest it into my studio to try to create a solid career for myself. But realistically, it will probably go to rent, bills, and getting my theatre kid through college.
