Art is life. The phrase "The eARTh without ART is just 'eh'" is the perfect example. Creating isn't just a want, it's a need for many.

Photography is where my heart truly lies, but I dabble in a bit of everything. I am not just a photographer; I write and am working on my first thriller novel and first book of poetry. I also enjoy painting, digital drawing, crochet, beading, and pottery. Basically, if it has to do with art, I have probably tried it at least once. Probably more than half of my room is art supplies, and it is clear that it is a "hobby" that will never escape me.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration everywhere I look. I try to enjoy the little things in life. I love to photograph things that I notice around my world. I especially love to catch the little things that people walk by and miss. I find that it helps center me, and remind me to look for and enjoy all the little things that life has to offer. It helps to take my mind off of all of the bad news we are fed constantly through social media.
What would you do with $25,000?I am chronically ill and technically disabled, but work as a substitute teacher. I have a large box of medical bills I would love to pay off. I have a small amount of credit card debt I would like to pay off. With the rest of it, I would probably pay off my car also. I have been trying really hard to work on building my credit, but with all of my medical issues through the years-bills going to collections because it's just too much to keep up with-it has been really difficult.
