As a realism artist I create art to tell a story. I create art to portray more than just aesthetic value.

Realism and expressionism art are my favorite types of art I love to create.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from events, activities around me daily as I travel around the city of New York. I watch a lot of historical documentaries, and American history, European history which also inspires me to express these events in my paintings. I also draw inspiration from films, and books.
What would you do with $25,000?I will donate $15,000 towards a church missionary that is putting together a project to build a church in a Roma village in Slovakia. The remaining $10,000 I would use to invest in my artwork for future exhibitions contributing to projects doing meaningful work to help communities globally. We all should use our gifts to benefit others, if my art positively impact the lives of people, hopefully it encourages others to give more.
