Uww that’s tricky…I’m a chameleon in the sense that I can do and work with many mediums as well as subjects. I guess the the type that tops it will have to be painting in general. It could be on clothes, on a model , sculpture, nails.. oh boy the list will keep going!
Where do you find inspiration?Since childhood I’ve loved art. I find inspiration anywhere! Dramatic light really captures my attention However animals are a HUGEEE inspiration for me. The textures, the colors, their behavior, their features and even their environment. If I feel an idea sits right within me, I kind of begin to get all these floating pieces of other ideas mixed together to come up with a new project. It’s almost as if I’m molding that idea in my hand until I get a sense of what I want it to look like.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000 I would place some of it as savings and the rest to prepare a studio space with just enough room for me to be able to work on GIANT paintings with room for my sculptures and materials. Also I have a wish of opening a small studio cafe spot where I can merge art and comfort . It would provide a wall for artist to showcase their work, baked goods and special art events. I would use it for one of these wishes
