Q. Who influenced or inspired you?
A. My parents have been my biggest inspiration.
Q. How long have you been in business/performing?
A. I've been doing Insurance business over 20 years.
Q. Where are you from originally?
A. I'm originally from Conroe, TX
Q. What sets your art/business apart from others?
A. The complexity and emotional undertone behind it.
Q. How has the pandemic affected you or your art/business?
A. I haven't been able to see people face to face for meetings, luncheons, or attend conferences. Technology is fine, but old school personal interaction is always the best.
Q. How do you balance your art/business with your family life?
A. Life is too short and everything has a place. Always make and take time for family no matter what. Sometimes, you have to set boundaries and parameters that this is family time and nothing or no one is going to intrude. The same way with business. You have to isolate, so your creative juices can flow or brainstorm with no interruptions.
Q. Any words of advice??
A. I would advise anyone getting into any kind of art/business to never give up or discouraged. Everyone is not going to see or even understand your vision, but as long as you believe in yourself and stay encouraged that's all that matters. Nothing in life is easy and it requires hard work, sacrifice, and determination. When the time does come, always stay humble.
