Art help us Kill our egos, a metaphor for artist's need to overcome self-centered barriers and surrender to the creative process.

My favorite art to create is reflections of wonder through single exposure art photography. A project of Travel, Fashion & Reflected Reality. I called it Maidens of the World, a surreal Journey through 19 Cities around the world, a groundbreaking surreal photography project that redefines the boundaries of reality and illusion. Through single exposure, witness the mesmerizing fusion of urban landscapes, architecture and surrealistic artistry.
Where do you find inspiration?I find the most inspiration when I travel. Adventure is worthwhile and travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, racism and narrow- mindedness! When you travel you are more in the moment and can look within with more freedom, honesty and innocence. Traveling is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer and that wealth relies in the profoundness of your experience.
What would you do with $25,000?Artist must operate with a profesional mindset, I treat my craft as a business while nurturing my creative intuition. I do have a clear, long term vision for my professional artistic career. However, capital is necessary so I would invest that money in purchasing new gear, equipment and invest in a new website. Independent artists must wear different t hats and this money will assist me with keep fostering my goals and art objectives. Thank you!
