I am a SAHM, a Lyme disease warrior, type 1 autistic, creative and old soul. Don’t ever look down on someone, unless it is to help them up.

This is a hard question. All mediums of art offers me the same joy and exhilaration. If I MUST narrow it down, I would advocate regarding any type of portrait art. I love humans. Despite our flaws, pains, I love our shared existence, our revelations. I love to see emotions displayed in the eye, in the subtle expression of our lips, our hair... My favorite human above all, to paint, is Jesus.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration is found in the simple and the complex for me. I love watching others create, I find our stories the most inspiring especially through artistic expression. I think it’s because our hearts are truly coming alive while we create. I love watching other heal before my eyes as they share this deep longing to be known. So to answer the question of what inspires me? It is others... Inasmuch, the mundane can be truly beautiful, just as beautiful as the highest of achievements.
What would you do with $25,000?I have just started a small art community and actually own my own business. I cater to crafters, and make my own custom glitter mixes, additives, and have things cut specifically for my small company. I would pay off my business investment of $15,000, save $2k for any unforeseen overhead challenges or taxes, and I would give the rest away, most likely to a women’s shelter. We have a lot of homeless out here, and I would love to see the ones who just need a little help, get the help they need.
