Shannon Blake

Art is a release of hidden emotion that's not seen on a face or heard in a voice. It's a release that binds you to you.That is what I love.

What is your favorite type of art to create?

I love all types of art from wood working to writing music but my favorite to create is realistic charcoal, especially portraits.

Where do you find inspiration?

In every day life. When I see something beautiful or someone I admire I recreate it. That way I can see it whenever I want.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would probably pay off some debt, finish up some home projects and create a better studio for my wife and I.
