My favorite type of art to create is art that speaks to a moment of feeling. Be it the love and affection I felt from a mother and their baby boy. Be it a moment of distress from finding out horrible news and having nowhere but paper to let out that energy. I always want to convey FEELING first. Sometimes it's a more direct portrait, and other times, more abstract.

Simply put, in everything. But especially in human interaction. That interaction does not have to be with me specifically, but seeing how a person encounters another or their reaction to anything that appeals to the five senses. Most times, my inspiration stems from capturing a candid moment with an individual.

I would first put some in emergency saving. Buy more art supplies, though that wouldn't make a dent. I'd use some to invest in a watercolor mentorship with Mary Whyte that I've always wanted to take. Buy a used car for no more than $8K, as I do not have one. And I would start a college fund for my godson, whether he chooses college or something else. I want to contribute to him being set up for success. Lastly, save around $2K for a trip somewhere I've never been to broaden my life experiences.
