Pareidolia, nature, movement, light, line, color, dance of perspectives, found objects, environmental activism and mostly process inspire me

My favorite art to create are pieces that tell a story or spark an emotion, a sensation, a reaction or an action. I love painting - the fluidity of the paint, the feeling of the brush, the sensuality of color and line. The solitude. The emergence from nothing to something. The layering, the problem solving and non-solving. And, accidents waiting to be honored. Deliberateness and randomness colliding. Energy images moving unconsciousness to consciousness from movement to stillness.
Where do you find inspiration?I am inspired by what is happening in the energies of the world. In current events and in geological time. I'm inspired by microscopic nature and sacred geometry. I'm inspired by glistening water, light, shadows, movement, color, the atomic structure, music, vibrations and stories. I'm inspired by perspective, playfulness, open hearts & minds; collaboration & acceptance. Diving deep and coming up for air. Seeing coincidence and magic.
What would you do with $25,000?I would rent billboards for a public art exhibition. This has long been a dream I would like to fulfill. My graffiti artist ethos is that art is form of free speech and should be free for all to see.
