I create art becauas I have to. I don’t really have a choice. Even when I create basic sketches to pass the time I feel like I have purpose.

I love the drawing and paint emotionally. If I’m depressed or angry or even excited about something, I try to put those feelings on the canvas or on paper it depends on what I have readily available in material sometimes it’s charcoal, but if I’m home and I know I have time on my hands that I can dig into the acrylics.
Where do you find inspiration?That’s hard to say because my inspiration comes from events that happens sporadically through my life. Even when I’m hired to do a project I find different memories or situations in my life that relate to that piece of work that I need to do and apply it to it.
What would you do with $25,000?My sister‘s husband, my brother-in-law is very sick. Their vehicle is in bad shape and they really don’t have much money. I would be thrilled to invest most of that into a vehicle for them so they could drive wherever they want .when they want and wouldn’t worry about it breaking down While they were out.
