My art is drawing and I've always loved to draw. My drawings are the expressions of my feelings about people and the world around me.

Drawing. I enjoy drawing most because it only requires a pen or pencil and paper to create art wherever I am. I do have a studio at home but most of my ideas come when I'm out and about. So most of my drawings begin as sketches away from the studio.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from the world. The things I see, feel, hear, and even smell. I'm inspired by people I meet and talk to. The stories, the struggles, the victories, the beauty, etc. These become pictures in my mind's eye that become my art.
What would you do with $25,000?Well I would probably put a down payment on a house. I grew up in a small house my dad was able to afford but after I moved away I lived in apartments and even though I'm college educated I never had enough money at any given time to afford my own home which I've always wanted. Even at 64 it would give me a place I can enjoy with my grandchildren and call my own.
