What is your favorite type of art to create?

I love all art forms but currently, I am most into photography.

Where do you find inspiration?

Inspiration usually finds me in people’s expressions. Sometimes in their joy or sometimes in serious moments. I love capturing things at just the right time so that they can keep that emotion safe forever and also of course nature.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would further invest in my photography. I really want to open our own studio but also my husband and I share a computer for editing so some of the money would probably be used for a second one haha.
