There is a euphoria bringing something to life that didn’t exist before. Creating art with my hands is a full body experience.

I find large scale work intoxicating. My paintings are heavily layered across different medias. Usually born from experiments, lino block or plan-air sketches. I build them into the base layers of a piece. Because I am a mixed media artist, being able to find inspiration in sculpture, sketch, or pottery is what drives my paintings. All of my work is connected.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from my travels of the world and intense experiences when I worked on the road on music tours.
What would you do with $25,000?If awarded this grant, I would use the funds to elevate my studio into a space that supports both my work and a growing creative community. After moving into my current space I realized how much I wanted to share what I was experiencing with others who had interest. Everyone should have access to creative expression they just need the support and space to try. There is so much potential for growth with every donation, grant, or funding.
