I love to create art because the possibilities are endless. I love showing the world that art can be made out of paper and plastic.

My favorite type of art to create is up cycling art. I make different forms of it from sculptures to 3-D wall art to abstract art.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the world itself. Looking at nature like the trees and animals. I find comfort in looking at the sky. It’s like a painting each day it’s never the same.
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off some bills, since I am in financial bind at the moment. I am disabled but I don’t let that stop me. I would create more pieces. Also show the world the importance of recycling and saving the world.
