My Favorite is Abstract Art, with different mixed media elements as well as textures, creating shapes and colors to represent a different perspective of how I see the world in an abstract form of abstract composition.
Where do you find inspiration?Being an Artist has blessed me with so many different opportunities such as being inducted into The Ghetty’s “LA Liber Amicorum” as one of LA’s most influential artists. I’ve also worked at Disneyland and Universal Studios as A theme artist at theme parks, various music videos, television productions, UCLA Theater teacher, Inner city street art. I find my inspiration all around our beautiful planet from animals to oceans to forest, especially all the different environments around the world
What would you do with $25,000?I would start on a long awaited project of A Bio Documentary creating historical murals in all of the poverty stricken cities in America , while documenting the process!!! In hopes to inspire children to be inspired by the Art’s and help clean up businesses and areas that have been impacted by Urban Development. It would be great to have local children and their families be involved with learning how to paint and jobs that they can utilize with in their communities.
