I enjoy doing Zentangling, this art form uses ink pens. and can sometimes be colored. Creating Zentangle art is a process that fully engulfs me and basically takes me to a place where I become totally immersed in my art work.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration all around me, in the ornate designs on an antique clock, in the way the branches on a tree cross and intersect each other, the intricacies of flower blossoms, and sometimes it's just the pen on the paper making its own way toward beauty.
What would you do with $25,000?I'd love to be able to share this gift i have with others and help them to realize how putting pen to paper can take them to a new zone of consciousness. A place where they can create beautiful strokes with ink and pen whenever they want. Teaching others has always been a huge part of me, so i would use the money to share my knowledge through classes to inspire young and old to realize they can be creative.
