My favorite type of art to create is large scale abstract mixed media paintings and unique installations that play with light and shadow.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration stems from an honest investigation into our ever changing world. Some of the best ideas come to light in nature, under the oak tree with the breeze blowing the branches and the light casting dancing shadows. Inspiration grows through experimentation. Music and dance play a big part of the process, as well as prayer and meditation.
What would you do with $25,000?I would continue to grow my art practice, invest in new art supplies and equipment for an art studio space. The money would help give the freedom to further ideas, inspiration and installations without the financial constraint.
