Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

In art history class during my college years, I had the opportunity to learn about great historical watercolor artists that are a major influence and inspiration of mine in business such as: Joseph Mallord William Turner, Alice Schille, and Andrew Wyeth to name a few; including contemporary watercolorist Dean Mitchell. These particular artists have influenced and shaped my own particular practice and painterly style, of me being authentic to my own artistic watercolor technique and approach.

How do you stay motivated?

Since art is my passion and predestined purpose, plus I am a natural born "right brained" creative person at heart; I am always motivated. The amount of creativity and innovation instilled in me is beyond the norm. However, my creative gifts, clients, and developing new works of art to share, sell and exhibit to the masses are all ways I stay motivated!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest the $25k back into the business, by making witty and wise decisions to scale business growth through global exposure and expansion. Business scaling will be a mix of two things: 1.) Scaling eCommerce online presence (example: investing in additional internet infrastructure and intellectual property insurance). 2.) Scaling off-line presence as Owner & CEO by attending mainstream media interviews in-person (example: public appearances, podcasts, and business travels).
