From age 7 too 47 I would have said sculpture. I loved glassblowing. With a wrist injury becoming permanent I now love to paint. I still love to learn new art forms and explore them. My main art form is painting at the moment.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature, public gatherings, students i work with, emotions, life events, family, other artist and everyday normal objects.
What would you do with $25,000?I would take some and invest in up and coming artist. I would also invest in local art programs to invest in future artist. I would invest in creating an place for art. Where all sorts of art, creative classes, gathering could take place to promote arts and crafts within the community.
