What is your favorite type of art to create?

So many favorites! Canvas painting, pottery, mixed media creations. Top favorite right now is Furniture Art creating. Completely reimaging a piece of furniture that would be on its way to a landfill. Turning it into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, using paint, decoupage paper, stencils, molds, and creativity. A functional piece of art with a whimsical vibe or an eclectic feel. Pieces that are just awe inspiring and bring a smile to everyone's face encouraging them to think out of their box!

Where do you find inspiration?

Inspiration is found everywhere! A walk-through nature, other people's art, famous people, places, or museums. A thought that strikes you while looking at something making you want to create that same feeling you experienced when looking at it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If it's my creation, I am the beholder. When another person can see your vision as you do, it's a wonderful thing. That inspiration you get from sharing your work and bringing happiness to others is worth it.

What would you do with $25,000?

Of course, pay a few bills. The biggest thing would be restocking all my art supplies, which are many when you wear many artistic hats. An upgraded recording system for creating videos and tutorials so the sharing of my skills with others could look and sound more professional. Rent a R.V., and travel around the U.S.A. and see what other wonderful things are out there that I have never experienced before.
