What is your favorite type of art to create?

My favorite form of creating is to bind/fuse different colors of crushed glass to make trees that I used to climb when I was a boy growing up in my neighborhood.

Where do you find inspiration?

Usually comes at night while trying to go to sleep. Then of course can’t go to sleep until I at lease get one started

What would you do with $25,000?

I would certainly invest in more glass. Donate to the Hart Gallery in Chattanooga Tn. Purchase more silver which helps me run it through my hands which helps with my inspiration.
