I am inspired by the beauty of the Hi Desert here in California. I live near Joshua Tree, these mystical creatures dance in front of beautiful sun sets every day. Capturing them is a sort of healing process and has shaped the last few years of my work. Altering them in the computer to add a more abstract nature is my way of evoking more emotion from the viewer. The frames I build around each piece ads to the composition and completes the piece as one, hence an original.
Where do you find inspiration?I look to abstract painters and nature to guide my vision.
What would you do with $25,000?Hmmmm, I would fix my bathroom I’ve been working on for six years. Then I’d explore deeper into the arts. I’ve recently started painting. I’d love to experiment with mixed media. Supplies cost a bit, $25,000 would give me some room to do so as well as feed the family and fix a few things at home.
