Where do you find inspiration?Nature is number one. I love abstract art and have incorporated family pets and wildlife in abstract form. I don't do realism, I feel we have cameras for that. I like quirky and whimsy and like to paint things that make me smile. Life is too short for boring art!
What would you do with $25,000?$25,000 would give me a proper studio set up and all the art supplies I need. I would also like to do a residency abroad to focus on art exclusively for a month or two without interruption. A chance to soak up art and spend time with other artists.
