I love creating art because it gives me a chance to express myself visually, when words sometimes fail to convey a message.

I love to do imaginative landscape, where it's based on a real place but the elements are more whimsical than quite realistic.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration all around. I live in Maine, so nature is aplenty. I feel inspired by the beautiful land around me and by living my life and getting through one challenge after another.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put that money towards the purchase of my family property, the land I grew up on as a kid. My dream has always been to return it to my family, and I've raised about half of what I need.
