I like to paint and draw to clear my mind. I retired from Amtrak after 32 years of service in 2010 and art helps to keep me busy.

What is your favorite type of art to create?

Scenic art

Where do you find inspiration?

I find my inspiration from TV newspapers, magazines, pictures of where I've been and also my own photos from when I was into photography.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would fix up my house, get new furniture and definitely more art supplies. I would also love to take my daughter on a much needed vacation.
