Creating art is to breathe. It’s some fluid that comes and flows like a river. It’s therapy. It is something that you share with the world.

I love making collage art. Vintage cannabis art is my specialty. There is something about that vintage era art mixed with the new and old cannabis strain names that just has such an appeal to me.
Where do you find inspiration?I look for things like Reefer madness or old advertisements from the 30-70’s. Those old ads are funny and exaggerated an are campy in a lot ways but there is such an appeal to them and lots of fun art and messaging that can be fun to work with.
What would you do with $25,000?I have an autistic son named Wolf and we are trying to teach him communication. My goal would be to one day sit with him and have a conversation about himself and myself and how art issues so important. $25,000 would be life changing for me.
