What is your favorite type of art to create?

I paint in watercolor, oil and acrylic. I sometimes mix my media. I tear pages from magazines and the inside envelopes from my bills to make collages. All is fair game.

Where do you find inspiration?

All natural elements- weather, clouds, plants, galaxies. The mathematics that creates growth and form and patterns. The Botanical Gardens. My garden. Color relationships. Breathing.

What would you do with $25,000?

I’ve always wanted to see the volcanoes in Hawaii, and perhaps to paint there. The Galapagos are also on my bucket list. So many things too numerous to list.
