I create to feel alive. Painting and sculpting is what drives me to be the best human I can be, while also trying to inspire others!

I like creating large scale paintings. I am a mix between abstract and expressionist. I love creating art that makes people feel home, or even makes them think. Anything to help others feel something the way that I do when seeing art.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere seems like a bland answer, but it’s true. The people that I see, the art that I see, the adventures taken and much more. The world around us is the best inspiration of all. Of course, I take my self as inspiration as well, because If you can’t find it within, it’s hard to create.
What would you do with $25,000?So many things come to mind. I would love to invest in a gallery/studio space for myself and others to enjoy. A gallery for artists like me to show off their work, and a studio to have artists come and work as well. Maybe even hold classes. My full time job is being an art teacher, so truly, being able to have a studio space for creating and showing work, would change my entire life.
