What is your favorite type of art to create?

Layers of realism,symbolism and abstract elements. Often refracted images but feels whole.

Where do you find inspiration?

A lot from traveling and from personal experiences; but a some come from archetypal deep diving with soulcollage. I always say, Creators create with the creator!

What would you do with $25,000?

I would pay for a much needed new website and finally hire a marketing person to help me be seen. As a 60 year old, I’ve always had this vision to paint a mural on every continent. With this prize money, I would provide subsidized murals (minus Antarctica) to continents…So since North America and Africa are completed—> I’ve got 4 more continents to go!
