What is your favorite type of art to create?

Photography, both fine art series & documentary, in my hometown & wherever I travel.

Where do you find inspiration?

Many places: in my city Houston, the faces, parks & architecture both during day & night. Also find inspiration in my home, mostly abstracts, setup macros & Siamese cat. Lastly, I am inspired by the woman I mentor & of course other artists, past & present.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would like to help 2 young women (I'm mentoring) to buy a basic SLR camera kit because they currently use phones.
