Like most artists, I enjoy working with many mediums. Currently, I've focusing on painting with watercolors. But, I also enjoy sculpting with wood & copper and, making jewelry.
Where do you find inspiration?The natural world is my primary inspiration. Living on the Oregon coast, I am surrounded by forest covered mountains, rocky coastlines, and beautiful sunsets into the Pacific Ocean.
What would you do with $25,000?Any money that might come from this endeavor would be used to support my artistic growth; travel to new places, to work with other artists. I would also like to open a small studio where people could come together, share their work with others, inspire and encourage new artists in a safe, inclusive environment.
