My favorite is abstract expressionism, creating something out of nothing. A work that elicits a profound emotional response in the viewer. My painting “Purple Twilight” received a 1st place blue ribbon award in a 4-state competition! It was such an honor because there were 1000’s of talented artists in this competition. The juror was the previous director of the Guggenheim! This was such an honor; one of the best moments of my life!
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration everywhere, every day. Some of my realism works are involving animals, and even my abstracts if you look closely enough you will find animals in the piece. I donate a % of the proceeds when a painting sells to save imperiled wildlife. I also find inspiration in nature and the people I care about. There’s nothing more satisfying than touching the heart of another human being through my creations. My goal being to help the world shift to a higher frequency focused on love!
What would you do with $25,000?First, I would donate to my favorite animal advocacy groups, Then I would help my friends who need it most. I would pay off credit cards and use the rest to upgrade my studio and buy more state-of-the-art materials for my craft. I would definitely use some of the money to market my art to a wider audience around the globe. My dream is to make it before I die! In addition, I would also look into using the money as a down payment on my own art gallery. Another long-standing dream!!
