Connect What is your favorite type of art to create?

My favorite art to make is any kind I can continue to perceive and interpret long after I've made it. I often find I don't know the meaning I've put behind an art piece or a song until long after I've completed it, but eventually it is interpreted in many ways, all of which are right. My favorite art to make would be art that speaks to me, and I want to be a part of, as this is the same art that draws others in for conversation, and debate over the meaning of a piece I never derived meaning for.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration through moments I see on the day to day that most wouldn't think about. Such as the hundreds to thousands on the surgery table right this moment. Or the men, women, children, and in-between who struggle every day to find food, and often fail. Or the single mothers, who put every ounce of their being into making sure their children grow up tall and kind. These moments that are so large, and yet perceived as unimportant inspire my art, and my want to share it every single day.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would put the money towards opening my own Massage practice. I'm currently in massage school and I wish to focus on abdominal techniques for assisting with IBS, Constipation, Menstrual cramps, and much more. With this money I could actually open a practice with a well decorated and artistic interior. It would be life changing if I got this money, as it would bring me so much closer to achieving my life goal of helping people live their day to day lives pain free.
