What is your favorite type of art to create?

I love abstract expression as there are no plans, rules or guidelines to follow. Instead my body and mind can create in whichever way my subconscious wishes.

Where do you find inspiration?

Inspiration comes from human experience. Each work/series is a vignette of personal/societal history containing raw emotions translated on canvas.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would donate to brain injury services and use the remainder to create a studio in my garage so I can run workshops in the community inspiring others to create for healing.
