I create art to give joy to the world, to entertain, and to stimulate thought. My sculptures also provide a viewer-interactive experience

Creative, colourful, positive art that is enjoyable on different levels. Art that is accessible by as large a group, internationally, as possible. Art that can stimulate thought as well as a positive emotional response.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in almost everything. It could be a person, an animal, a flower, a tree, a building, a sky, OK, everything. I never thought of myself in this way until I watched a film that had been made about my art. The film included interviews with several people I've known or worked with over the last 50 years and it was surprising to hear that the way they viewed me was that I "appreciated every facet of life". And that I "found beauty in everything." True, just hadn't thought about it.
What would you do with $25,000?My art partner and I run an Animal Rescue & Sanctuary and I'd put a percentage into animal care. Another bit will go to increasing our rain-water storage capacity. About half the money will go towards "investment" into our collaborative art projects. Our sculptures are particularly intricate and time consuming and we would like to donate them to several museums. They attract so much attention that they need to be in museums. Example: One got over 28 million views across social media recently.
