What is your favorite type of art to create?

Abstract, and working into abstract expressionism, but I’m doing some “realist” work for friends and I will learn. I want to see where this all goes.

Where do you find inspiration?

Music, mostly jazz, like be-bop and post bop and avant garde work. Also, the outdoors and Buddhist philosophy.

What would you do with $25,000?

Give some to pancreatic cancer research because one of my first sales, 1982, came back because the buyer died from it and her husband never liked art. Probably donate supplies to an elementary teacher in urban KC who is just doing amazing work. Buy art stuff for my new grand daughter. Prepay a few month’s rent on my studio space.
