I am a versatile artist. I enjoy a vast array of art including painting, furniture building, photography, and sewing. It is difficult to pick a favorite but acrilic painting and landscape photography take the cake for me. There is nothing I enjoy more than being out in nature either photography it's wonders or being able to paint and bring my thoughts into the visual world. It give me great pleasure, satisfaction, and inner peace.

From the grass to the stars, my inspiration comes from the amazing world we all live in, as well as the amazing people in my life. My mother and my daughter, who both have been a tremendous inspiration in my life as well as my art. But overall I find inspiration everywhere I look, everyday. It's hard not to when you open your eyes everyday to see our astounding world with such vivid landscapes and architecture, and cultures. Inspiration comes in many forms and I try to open my mind to them all.

That would first help to pay for my daughters fine arts degree, that she is currently in college for. Then after that I would use it to complete my studio. I have been working on it for a couple of years and would love to make it a reality to be able to create and my studio full time. The money would allow both of these and would create a space where I along with other artist will be able to be inspired to create and prosper from tutorials, available work spaces, and the nature in this studio.
