What is your favorite type of art to create?

Abstract art

Where do you find inspiration?

My life, I survived cancer as well as a multitude of other surgeries. Painting gives me a safe space to release all of the stress, worry it even takes my mind away from all the pain. As a single mother I have had to endure a lot. Most of it alone, that is until my kids became adults and my best friends. Colors on canvas feel like music to me, if I can give that feeling to someone else through my art would be a true blessing.

What would you do with $25,000?

Use it as a down payment on a home. The one thing we haven’t ever had is stability. I want that and only that. Then I’ll go out and buy a bunch of paint 🎨
