What is your favorite type of art to create?

Folk Surrealism in the medium of acrylic and ink.

Where do you find inspiration?

Through processing challenging life experiences and through seeing the subtle but powerful shifts that happen through the persistent will to evolve.

What would you do with $25,000?

Buy a laundromat to bring in regular income so that I could continue creating using larger scale canvases, higher quality products and show to larger audiences. It would help me build a solid foundation for my art business with things like a quality website, prints and technology to help me balance my love for art and business.
