My favorite type of art is beadweaving but I love all types of arts! I am currently working on a beaded bee on embroidery fabric.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration in daily life. I teach at Painting with a Twist on South St and also teach at numerous community centers around Philadelphia and Delaware. I teach the senior community how to paint. I'm hired through insurance companies and senior medical centers.
What would you do with $25,000?I would absolutely take my Mom to the Cincinnati zoo to visit with the hippos!! She loves them. She recently had some falls and lives with me now due to a bad head injury. I would support my art community and help others achieve their goals. My daughter and her wife are trying to have babies through IVF and would love to help them financially.
