My favorite type of art to create is figurative realism in oil on canvas.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration through the people I meet, studying animals, both from land and sea, and in research into art history. As an art teacher, I am constantly learning from my students.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to continue my investigations into painting & drawing, while building up our art school, De Vita Academy of Art, so I can educate and inspire the next generation of artists.
