I create art because art is real. In this world of “What is real?” I know that my art came from heart to my hand and then into this world.

My favorite type of art to create is art that captures a moment in time. A moment that stood still yet the emotion is very alive.
Where do you find inspiration?Art is life. So walking through this human experience provides so much inspiration! I am continually renewed by travel, human relationships and the grace of animals.
What would you do with $25,000?I would do so much with $25,000! First thing, I would go on an art retreat in the desert -a quiet place with solitude and where I can enter flow state for longer periods then I get in my day to day life. Then I would put together my first art show with a goal of creating 15 pieces of art to show. And I would buy large art panels to paint on without any guilt! And find a beautiful studio to rent so I can paint bigger! Expand, stretch, grow!
