What is your favorite type of art to create?

Figurative from graphite, ink to acrylic allowing my vision to dictate.

Where do you find inspiration?

In visceral excitement from some visual or emotional stimulation it must resonate for me to care.

What would you do with $25,000?

I'd continue to expand my arts endowment. I recently helped fund multi Grammy winner Scot Tixier produce his solo project. Want to make sure kids have their fair shot to grow as artist. Having a greater endowment will help attract more capital and this could really grow into something substantial.
