What is your favorite type of art to create?

That is a hard question to answer. I love creating all types of artwork from drawing, painting, mixed media... there are so many types of art and mediums to help create art. I would have to say exploring different ways to create my vision would probably be my favorite thing to do. I suppose it is what a scientist might feel like in a laboratory, just creating and seeing what happens. Experimentation.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in life. Everyday there is something to behold. Life gives us beauty, tragedy, love, chaos, movement, stillness...everything is an experience. I want to capture moments. Life is art. Some artists say they get inspiration from a muse, an obsession or fascination of sorts. My muse would have to be life. Life in all it's glory and frailty. That may seem a very generic answer, but it really isn't. I am inspired by life, the good, the bad, and all versions in between. Life is wonde

What would you do with $25,000?

That is an easy question to answer. I would travel as much as possible. I want to see more of this World and more life. I would love to just take my sketchpad some pencils and capture life's moments all over the World. I know $25,000.00 can only take me so far, but wherever it does take me will be an amazing experience and fuel to create more spectacular art. Hopefully, through my art, another person can be inspired.
