Anything hands on! I've gravitated towards leatherwork but also enjoy any form of fabrication. Its working to a result, often off the cuff or from my sketchbook and seeing it come to life that is the most fun.
Where do you find inspiration?The world around me! I enjoy visiting zoos, museums, art installations and historic locations to observe as much as I can, weaving that into projects at hand. I'd also say TV and film, as that often inspires reworking a pattern or design to catch the eye when new shows are trending.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in a small studio and market/vending/show fees plus a reliable vehicle to be able to participate in markets and vendors events. I have not had the resources available to participate in an art market since 2018 when I lived in Louisiana. I've been fortunate to make it to the Pacific Northwest all extraneous resources have focused on continuing to move forward between setbacks.
