I have no limit to favorite, to create is ultimate, every vibration is inspirational and every piece of matter can be employed in a creative capacity to express the human experience. I work in a multitude of mediums, all of which have many favorable elements and moments during the process.. so it's the art I create.
Where do you find inspiration?I find it in pretty much everything around, so the list continues to grow, not enough characters. Every moment is a mystery unfurled .. I find inspiration in the mystery, which gives way to moments of reflection put into creative action. When the urge is as strong as the experience, I am inspired to create and express a notion of what the feeling it is like.
What would you do with $25,000?I would donate $5,000 towards the support of three emerging Artist attending the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, N.M. I would invest $10,000 in a mobile gallery and $10,000. for art events and markets.
