What is your favorite type of art to create?

That is a good question. I enjoy working with drawing cartoons, characters, and scenes, as well as music, singing, acting, and writing... What I enjoy most is doing things that bring joy to others. If I can make people feel, smile or laugh, I call that successful art.

Where do you find inspiration?

Often inspiration comes from the things I enjoy, but also from current events and what others appreciate and enjoy.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would use it to help my family and my parents. With the current and previous government shut downs my family has had to operate with me working without pay (until they create a budget and release funds). This means working under stress and struggling to cover bills. My father recently had to move to assisted living due to complications from his diabetes, blood cancer, neuropathy and Parkinsons. My mother has had to sell the home and is moving closer to dad and is also having health issues.
