Where do you find inspiration?From my muse. I get into the zone and it just flows. Often I see faces in fabric, walls and ceilings and copy them on paintings. Same with my writing and poetry. Rarely I will sketch what I am going to paint first. I grew up in, Japan, Italy, Greece, France and Iran as an army brat and am often influenced their mythogies as well as India's and Buddhism.
What would you do with $25,000?I am the sole financial supporter for my three severely handicapped dependents and unfortunately got scammed out of my life savings and then some. So I would use it to pay down my debt.
