I create my art because I love to bring my visions to life and share them with everyone.

I love painting, I love using a mix of spray paint and acrylic to bring my visions to life. There's something special that happens when I have an empty canvas, paint and an idea. Painting is my escape from all the insanity that life has going on around me, It's my therapy, my special place. The rattle of a spray can and the feel of a brush in hand is what sets the world right again.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everything! It sounds cliché but the world around us holds so much beauty that if you're open to it the world will show you things and give you inspiration. I don't just mean the outside world I'm talking about the world that surrounds us everyday. Inspiration can come while being out on nature or can happen while hanging out with our family and friends, to even coming while watching TV.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use some as a deposit on a house for me and my family, and probably some for more art supplies and equipment.
