Being a teacher is stressful. Five years ago, I began using art as a form of relaxation and a way to express the love in my heart.

I work with graphite pencils. Seeing the variety of tones four pencils can make amazes me every time. Although I took a chance to create an unpracticed image, I am pleased with the results. I mostly draw people and cats. Attempting to create realistic hair and fur spurs me to study and practice more.
Where do you find inspiration?I enjoy using photos and/or seek to create images from stories I read. I also like to take multiple visuals and combine them into a single, unique drawing. That is what I present to you all today.
What would you do with $25,000?After paying taxes and tithes, I dream of creating a garden in my backyard where I can grow desert roses, herbs, and vegetables. It would be a place where I can meditate and relax.
