    1 What type of artwork do you create? -mostly painting, also drawing, masks, sculpture, pastel, mixed media, anything

    2 Do you consider yourself to be a beginner, intermediate or advanced artist? I am an advanced artist, but with some mediums I am a beginner.

    3 Have you sold any of your work so far? I've sold more artwork than I can remember, yet I'm struggling to pay the bills.

    4 Does the idea of promoting and selling your artwork intimidate you? No way, it brings me the most joy!

    5 Where would you like to be with your art in a year? I need to make a whole new body of work, because some galleries are asking for me to have shows, five years? -hard to think beyond that, I want to be successful!

    6 Would you like to support yourself with artwork sales and if so What are your selling/marketing goals for the next year? Yes I want to support myself with art, I just need to figure out how to get the e-commerce on my website.

    7 What inspires you as an artist? children, other cultures, beauty, spirit, soul, vibration.

    8 What stops you cold? Turns you off as an artist? really vulgar art, or when people use rotting things in their art

    9 Do you have a website or blog address you would like to share? yes, these are my recent projects:

    ayurvedaposters.com/

    This next site has mostly art that I did when I was much much younger
