Realistic. I love the details in all of the subjects that I paint. I'm fascinated with the shapes and forms of each subjects eyes, nose, lips, hair, feathers, fur, etc., that makes them unique, and I try to convey those things into the paintings and drawings I create. Those things along with the personality within each subject.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in all of nature and the creatures it contains. I find inspiration in people who have unique/ exotic features and personalities/presence.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to cover my expenses in finishing the many paintings I currently have in progress to enter into and sell at various upcoming art shows such as the fall Beverly Hills Art show, fall La Quinta Art show and winter Art Shows in Florida, in addition to select art galleries in Laguna Beach CA., Los Angeles, CA., northern California, Los Altos and San Francisco.
