What is your favorite type of art to create?

Landscape art with my own unique twist I like to push the boundaries of the conceptualized view most people have

Where do you find inspiration?

My inspiration comes mostly from my mother when she passed away from Covid in 2022 it really pushed me into my own world of painting and I recently had a near death experience I was in a coma

What would you do with $25,000?

I would open my own gallery and help other artists become known and teach art I’m a disabled artist so the money is sorely needed
