A mix between realism and abstract because it allows me to still have fun and break free from perfectionism.
Where do you find inspiration?Within the context of my relationship with Jesus, I love to learn. What I’m learning is then expressed through imagery so I don’t forget. I call it “creating memorials”. Every bit of life in some way reveals more about him or points back to him. I enjoy the treasure hunt.
What would you do with $25,000?Scale my creative business in a few ways. Pay a few months ahead for an art studio. Go bigger with canvases. Create products to help equip the artists of tomorrow. Invest in a team to help launch more excellent online courses. Invest in a film ai app to animate my paintings into the stories that inspired them. And publish my first book I’m currently illustrating.
