I love to create art to see the expressions on people's faces. To see them light up, share a laugh, or even to just feel a little whimsy.

My favorite type of art to create is stained glass! However, I take it to another level by adding in jewlery on some pieces, faux flowers, glass paint details, as well as different gauge wire. Mainly I have been working on portraits of people or characters I find wildly interesting. However, after finishing my Picasso piece, I started to create a whimsical world out of glass. I wanted to bring out my inner child and what better way to do so, than to build my own magical world that will shine.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration comes from everything around me. People's emotion, nature, culture, and creative media in general. I am constantly changing my style to amp it up and trying new things out-of-the-box. Always asking myself what can I do to go to the next level. People that come to my shows even inspire me. They get my gears spinning on what can I do next to see their faces light up the way they did tonight. However, my daughter is my biggest inspiration and I wouldn't be doing this without her.
What would you do with $25,000?What would I do with $25,000... you know that is a great question. There is a lot you can do with that money. I would most likely use it to take my daughter on a trip or pay off some bills as well. But that's a hard question. Being a single mother that money could potentially be used for an endless amount of things. So really that was the hardest question of them all.
