What is your favorite type of art to create?

Whatever my vibe is that day. I love bright and colorful water themed paintings, neutral textures and using unexpected objects to paint on and with.

Where do you find inspiration?

Everywhere! I am inspired by people, places and so many things.

What would you do with $25,000?

My son has autism and has so much promise, but doesn't have many opportunities to make art. It's so cathartic for him. There are no programs for adults with autism, so I'd like to change that with am annual fundraising gala and center!
