My favorite type of art to create is my wildlife Pyrography art based off of where I live right by the cascade mountain range in WA State. Transforming pieces of wood into beautiful works of art is what truly brings me happiness and purpose!
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my everyday life, horseback riding, the adventures in the Pasayten and Sawtooth wilderness, fishing, hiking, and the nature that surrounds me. I have a deep love for animals and nature and sharing that with the world brings me joy.
What would you do with $25,000?I have been wanting to make the jump to being able to do art full time. This would make it possible for me to make that jump and have more time to create! This would give me the financial stability to be able to do this. I also just got married within the last year and just closed on our first home as well and could be put towards that. There are so many possibilities!
