Life is art. Everything we do we are creating and expressing and leaving a mark. My favorite depends on what is going on at the time as I enter a state of flow and find myself emerged by it. My favorite is ever revolving as the earth revolves around the sun while spinning on an axis. Some favorites spanning the course of my lifetime include art therapy paintings, multi media body paintings, unique and exquisite jewelry with rare collectible beads, modeling, cooking and immersible experiences

What would you do with $25,000?25000 would give me the freedom to create more art while opening an art therapy non profit for those struggling with mental health and/or substance use disorder. A safe space to process their emotions through their own creativity longing to get out. And essentially helping them to become a more free’r version of themselves.
