What is your favorite type of art to create?

Glass art and music.

Where do you find inspiration?

Life can be brutal. For many of us, art is our escape, not our attempt at fame. Creating something tangible from a sea of turbulent emotions and invisible scars gives a momentary respite from our daily lives.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would pay down my debts and find a better couch to sleep on.
