What is your favorite type of art to create?

Acrylic painting and drawing with colored pencils.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration from people I have met over the years (portraits). I see something in others they do not see in themselves. I find faces tell such a story, they can be maps of lives lived, reflecting the roads we have walked and the emotional experiences we've had. I also find inspiration from introspection. I enjoy drawing myself in various scenarios as a way to express who I am, how I feel and who I want to be.

What would you do with $25,000?

$25,000 would make a difference in my life. I am currently unemployed with a few bills I could pay off. I could also pay off a few of my mom's bills. I could make more art and treat myself to a trip abroad. I have had a passport with no stamps for almost two decades. I'm a simple gal with a small life and a huge heart!
