I have always been a creative so creating art is like breathing to me. I hope I can brighten the world with my art and make a difference.

I am a muralist at heart! I love transforming buildings! Pacific Northwest Nature based art especially my Pacific sea creatures, and wooden fish are my favorite Art that I have been creating. I truly love bringing a playful, vibrant, creative touch to our native species, and environment that we have here on the Pacific coast. I enjoy using the water and natural environment around me in my art pieces. Pretty much anything that is unique, and makes people smile I would consider my favorite. ??
Where do you find inspiration?I find all of my inspiration from nature, especially the animals, and native species in our Pacific coast environment. I find a lot of peace, and inspiration from water. The ocean is particularly inspirational to me. Inspiration becomes healing for me, and each creation is a gift from my soul.
What would you do with $25,000?If I received $25,000 I would put that towards starting a creative Arts studio. Along with a gallery in my community where I could hold open classes that inspire our youth to create, and help find their inner artist while also building a sense of community in a positive artistic experience. I truly believe that Art can make a difference in our world. I want to show what a positive impact Art has on society, and maybe make a difference in my little corner of earth. ??
