I find the process keeps my mind sharp, solving problems to make my work communicate something inside me that I can’t express in words.

I enjoy sculpture and painting from nature and from my imagination.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere. I travel and take photos. I dream of being lifted into the clouds or flying like a bird with gigantic wings. I look at my cat, Lilly and sketch her. I stare out my window and paint trees and birds. My cat is my constant companion in my studio.
What would you do with $25,000?That’s easy! I can hire apprentices for a sculpture I’ve been dying to build! I can buy materials and do some Public Relations too.
