Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration from my culture as a Native American male. I also get my inspiration from my life and personal experiences, as well as from my family and friends. I gather other inspiration from many different artists and art forms. Music plays a role in my inspiration for my creative process.
What would you do with $25,000?With the $25,000.00 I would further my horizon in my art endeavors and possibly a career in art. I would also use the money to better my life and the family I am creating with. A donation to my community would be a blessing to further an Arts community for our youth.
