What is your favorite type of art to create?

My favorite type of art to creating a composition using “found objects”.

Where do you find inspiration?

Nature and my life experiences are my biggest sources of inspiration. My dreams and nightmares, hopes and fears.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would give 10% of it to help buy art supplies for children in needy communities in the Philadelphia area. I wish I could give more, but I honestly would use the rest of the prize money on groceries and gas. As a newly-divorced senior woman, it is tough making ends meet.
