What is your favorite type of art to create?

Therapeutic art that uses all mediums that allow creative expression of emotions and allows the understanding of feelings to then catalyze healing

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in nature and my dreams - which are a product of my empathic relationship with my environment - those around me - and the geopolitical events that impact our lives as individuals, family, community, society and culture

What would you do with $25,000?

I would start a permaculture farm sanctuary and set studio where we could work collaboratively with those that need help in understanding their feelings in order to start the healing process
