Abstract paintings - works that are larger than our human size so that one can get 'lost' in them - discovering more with each viewing experience.
Where do you find inspiration?In the interactions I've had in the past and present with friends, family and my own journey of discovery about myself and my place here in the universe.
What would you do with $25,000?I would give 1/2 of it away to a local homeless charity. I am 66 now and am not wealthy in the sense of money, but I am rich with love and memories with family, friends, and my pursuits as the creative person God intended me to be. So, yeah. I'd only keep 1/2.
