Sculpting with renewable and recycled materials
When did you first figure out that art was important to you?

Who is your art mentor?

What advice would you offer someone just beginning their exploration of their own artistic self?
Take your time, literally breath, and write down every doodle and/or word that comes to mind. When you are satisfied that the idea has been captured and anchored into reality, re-organize the concept and setup some sort of schedule for yourself. Deadlines are only important if you believe in keeping them, so give yourself markers of time to setup your own achievements.
