Art is the expression of the soul. It’s in league with creation itself as something which only one can dig out, and place in the universe.

I started with creative art, commercial art, musical instruments and composing my own music, singing, writing…. I have created lifelong memories through comedic sculpting, often on a whim. Recently I enjoyed decorating guitars. I found it quite satisfying. For the past 5 years I started working with natural gemstones. Each piece is unique. I would absolutely love to learn silver smithing at some point in time. I wish to continue to work with natural gemstones and open a store. I was made for it.
Where do you find inspiration?Life renders alot of different moods as of late, dark or free. Art expressed in shadow is often written out. All other moods are prime for other mediums. I cannot generate magic out of the mundane. If I set my sight on creating something, I deem to finish it. For sure the mood will evolve if I sit on a desire for too long, the outcome twist and confuse even myself, the message meant for someone somewhere. Life might seem to be unique to each of us, but we all are on the same emotional ride.
What would you do with $25,000?I would buy supplies for sure! I have pondered the idea of opening an art studio where people could gather to work with similar medium and all create together. Perhaps even host a show and art sale right from the same studio. I always wanted particular pieces to be shown. They are not meant to be kept away from the public eye, but to coax an emotional reaction. Art unseen is dead to its true purpose.
