My favorite type of art would be creating photographic organic abstracts. I'm big on trees, plants or florals. I find it gratifying in transforming these subjects into unique positions and compositions. Also using structures and people in abstract or unusual settings captures my imagination.
Where do you find inspiration?Finding inspiration takes me usually to the wild, open spaces. Giant forests. Sprawling meadows. Even a city park can hold many surprising interactions. When I cannot be in lovely, natural surroundings I rely on my daily beach bike ride to feed inspiration. The gritty city supports my itch for urban subjects. Keeping an eye open not only serves me creatively but also makes life worth living.
What would you do with $25,000?Would love to take trip to Patagonia.
