Painting allows me to push my creativity. It's relaxing and there is so much joy when I'm painting. I call it my heart work.

I just like to paint what is visually appealing to me. I know that it might not be something everyone would want hanging on their walls but who knows. I also love working with beads and crystals to create miniature plants and sun catchers. And creating candles from beeswax is another favourite type of art for me.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature through photographs. I've learned you don't paint a photo you paint your interpretation of your perception of what you see in the picture.
What would you do with $25,000?lol, I'd buy more art supplies. Really though I'd donate some to local programs that provide opportunities for young people to be exposed to the arts-whether it be painting, theatre, dance or music. I've seen the positive impact art can have on a youngster and I want to help them participate in lessons and programs that they may not have the funds to participate in. I don't want them to miss out on developing their creative skills.
