I have always loved creating art.... It has been my therapy, and a positive way to process the grief after my exhusband's suicide in 2024.

I really enjoy giving new life to things that people no longer want...things cast aside. I seem to try to do the same with people...help to find their new purpose when they've been broken and tossed. Sometimes it just takes a change in perspective to see the true potential of something or someone.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration for my creations through my emotions of the day, perhaps the music I'm listening to, and also my imagination. A lot of my art is driftwood, so when I see a piece of driftwood I spend a lot of time studying it and the things that make it stand out to me.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25000, I would buy vehicle to get the kids and I around. I would pay off my outstanding credit, and invest the rest into something that I feel would make a difference for people struggling with suicidal thoughts and mental illness.
