What is your favorite type of art to create?

Wearable art.

Where do you find inspiration?

I seem to take in the landscape around me and translate or distill it into a color palette. Then I intuitively warp my loom with these colors and weave the fabric.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would go to Italy to study textiles. This experience would add to my knowledge base and increase my skills.
