For me, art is something I use like a form of meditation. I can shut out the rest of the world and just focus on 1 thing. It's peaceful.

Drawing is my favorite type, but I also have a passion for acting. The 1 art type I want to try more of is glass blowing.
Where do you find inspiration?I'm a people watcher, so I find inspiration in the people around me. Sometimes it can come from a friend asking for me to draw something for them, but, oftentimes, I like to capture photos of people in the moment, and not posed. I find, that the true emotion comes through better in the photo thay way, then I take that photo and draw it.
What would you do with $25,000?1. I'd would take my mom on a bucket list trip, she's never seen the Redwood forests out in California, and she's never been to Europe. 2. The rest would go towards my dream of opening an animal sanctuary specifically animals thay get a bad rep. I have a degree in Wildlife Ecology and have worked with all sorts of animals people have fears of.
