Art to me is my peace. I start with one line or dot not knowing what it will create. The end product always has a special meaning to me.

One of my very first memories is setting up my easel when my dad would come home for lunch before I was in kindergarten. I would paint him a picture while he was eating lunch. I have always painted, but I love pen and ink. I’m really into all different types of medium actually, but my favorite is pen and ink. From the first line or dot I never know where my art is gonna take me until I finish.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration is everywhere. I find inspiration in the mountain ridges in the rivers, the rock formations next to the river and the pattern in the trees. The sunrises and the sunsets. the clouds in the sky. My inspiration is pretty much everywhere.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won $25,000 I would truly use it to better my life. I would pay off debts and invest in my daughter’s futures. As a single mom with a special needs daughter $25,000 would be an amazing gift so I could update my home for her and pay off debts. Invest and possibly take them on a dream trip.
