I am driven to be creative as if there is a force or current within me seeking an outlet. It feels more like necessity for me to create.

I enjoy writing and visual art equally. It would be impossible for me to choose one over the other. I enjoyed creating my entry for this competition because it marries both forms and music. It is a synopsis for a musical.
Where do you find inspiration?I am inspired by words and thoughts and especially memories. Words in writing … spoken words … photographs capturing a moment in time … even dreams may inspire me and lead me to create.
What would you do with $25,000?I would hire someone to help me look after my almost 98 year old mother who is extremely mentally and physically handicapped. If I had some help meeting her daily needs, I’d have more time to spend on creating.
