Quarter-Finalist

I love to create art work because I can escape reality for a short period of time. Art makes me see people or things differently.

What is your favorite type of art to create?

My favorite type of art is abstract illustration, abstract, surrealism, and sometimes realism.

Where do you find inspiration?

My inspiration comes from people or people personality including myself, sometimes events that are happening in the world, but mainly people. Emotions can be an inspiration, love, hate, anger and music is a strong inspiration.

What would you do with $25,000?

I will buy me a new easel and a drafting table, but what I really want to do is travel to parts of the world to get more inspiration. Five years ago I finally got to go to New Orleans and fell in love with the people and culture. Africa, South America, and Europe are places I would like to visit. I know that $25,000 will not take me to all these places, but that's what I would do.
