What is your favorite type of art to create?

I really don't have a favorite type of art to create. I really enjoy creating all types of art. As long as I'm creating something people like or love that's all that matters to me. I started out with paper and color pencil, the moved on from there just trying different medias. Acrylic paint on canvas and wood, Wood working building tables and wood burning , cutting boards and epoxy. The latest thing I've been into is building custom wood lamps

Where do you find inspiration?

I find my inspiration just living life in general. What really started my art career was seeing people with tattoos when I was a lot younger. I knew then I wanted to be a Tattoo Artist after graduating from high school. My kids also inspirer me everyday to get up and do what I do. It also helps me with my mental health, it makes me feel like I'm in a stress free world. Without art I don't know where we would be today! Its life for us... we create everyday its's not a hobby, Its my career....

What would you do with $25,000?

There is so much I could do with that money. Upgrade my art studio or maybe get some new windows for the house we live in, or put a big part of it in the kids bank accounts for what ever they need later in life.
