I love many mediums in art. Writing and collaging are my favorites. Followed by painting and then drawing. What I love about collages as opposed to painting and drawing is that I can hide secret messages in them or tell a story. They are so much fun.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from the beauty around me. I live in Northern California. It is a very majestic place. It inspires me a lot. Going to museums also inspires me. It’s wonderful to see work that may not have been appreciated, being totally appreciated.
What would you do with $25,000?With 25,000? I would make trips to Los Angeles to try and network with serious artists… As much as I love where I live there aren’t tons of artists around.
