I create art to share with the world without profit or gain. Art means more to me than any other soul knows, it is part of who I am.

I do not have one particular favorite type of art, but rather a multitude of favorites. Be it anything from wood working, sculpting to blacksmithing, if I can think it then I can make it. I create works of art that give beauty and new life to what once was discarding items. To create works of art that gives a person an emotion,any emotion is what I strive for.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from the world around me. So many things in my life play a factor, music, history, the elements, the four seasons. From what I hear to what I see, I try to integrate into my art and sometimes even add a little hidden humor to the mix. Because at the end of the day we all could use a smile.
What would you do with $25,000?Money isn't why I entered. But if I am being completely honest, I would buy the materials to build animal houses to give to my local community. There is a strong need for them here. I would also purchase some much needed new paints and maybe replace some tools that were stolen last year so that I can build the animal houses easier.
