What is your favorite type of art to create?

My favorite style of art to create is capturing the natural beauty of whats already around us that we tend to be too busy to stop and admire. There are thousands of moments that happen that never go noticed. I feel i can share those moments with the world so people can appreciate the little things again.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find my insperation everywhere. From bigs being themselves to mother nature creating magic.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would put half into a new vehicle to make more room for all three of my children. The rest I would put into savings so I will always have a cusion to fall back on if i ever have a length of time with no work again. I travel for work and sometimes there are no contracts so i just sit at home. I love the time with my family, but it doesn't keep the lights on on realistic terms.
