I love creating art because it expresses what is truly in someone’s soul which may not be communicated through words.

My favorite type of art is photography. I love capturing moments and being able to look at them as much as I want.
Where do you find inspiration?My original inspiration came from picking up the camera as a form of stress relief from being a Paramedic on the ambulance and it also helped my tremendously with PTSD from the job. As that is still my inspiration to this day, another inspiration is capturing beauty of life. Everything around us is beautiful from the landscape to animals, and our fellow human beings that walk this earth.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000 I could pay my medical bills and pay my student loans.
