What is your favorite type of art to create?

Abstract sunsets using oil as my medium

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in nature and how it calms my spirit

What would you do with $25,000?

I grew up quite poor.. and i've always been on my own. Growing up poor was not easy. I've been looking after myself since I was a kid. But I excelled at doing that. Money was always something that has let me down in this life. 6 years ago I was diagnosed with a rare type of brain cancer and I am fortunate enough to still be here.. so I would use that money to travel. To see more of the world before I leave it. To connect with people. I dont seek luxury; I seek experiences.
