What is your favorite type of art to create?

Hands down my favorite type of art is sculpting. I get excited at the fact that our brains can project what we imagine into the mud with our hands. Sculpting shows you that through trial and error you can achieve your dreams. Sculpting has also brought me happiness through allowing me to create things straight from my imagination that are new and fascinating. The biggest part of it for me is the challenge and advancing my skills to create something my brain can't comprehend making.

Where do you find inspiration?

My biggest inspiration comes from my father. My Father showed me what commitment to your art means and how much you grow with it. He showed me that your life can be very full and very real when you commit to your art. I learned from him you shouldn't let views or money get in the way of what you love either. My second inspiration is Star Wars and there's to many reasons to explain. I've hoped through my art that are our world can become a little closer to the galaxy that's so far far away.

What would you do with $25,000?

I invested my life savings into a one acer plot of land that I hope to farm one day and rehabilitate for wildlife. I'm also currently building a home for myself and to take care of my family if they are ever in need. I would save the money until I had another 25k so that I could have an emergency fund or I would invest it into the property when I felt it was time. The reason being I like to see what I can do on my own and I don't like to worry.
