Art is an outward expression of myself and even better gives me a way to share that with others in hopes to elicit a smile and also inspire!

Mixed media art. I like combining different materials. Often wood/nature is going to be the base material. Then I may use a synthetic material or inlays. Guitars are often built exactly in this way even though I do more custom parts. I still like to let nature do most of the work.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere! However if I was to really narrow down to where I may be inspired the most, it will typically be some place in energy. This could be anywhere from a concert which inspires my musical side to in the middle of a forest listening to the wind blowing through pine trees. Lots of highly inspirational places here in AZ!
What would you do with $25,000?Help my mom out financially first. Then would add metal to my list of materials to use. Don’t really use it much yet but want a fiber laser. Then start my outlaw guitar series of guitars.
