I love to create art because I NEED to create art. It gives me somewhere to put my pain, my desire, my joy. A permanent address to my soul.

What is The People's Artist?

What is your favorite type of art to create?

I don't have a specific niche or favorite per se. I crochet, sculpt, do wood-working, paint, draw, tattoo, write, sing, design, do photography, and model. I love it all.

Where do you find inspiration?

I meditate before I create. I look deep inside myself, and I ask myself what I want to make. I listen to my heart and my mind, then I start creating based on what I see and how I feel.

What would you do with $25,000?

That much money would completely change my life right now. This gig-work economy is not always kind to my family. We have had a very rough year. I've struggled with my health a lot, making it hard to work sometimes. I have chronic migraines and seizures, and chronic widespread pain. We are literally DAILY paycheck to paycheck right now. A little breathing room would be fantastic.
