Painting is my creative choice, but I don’t limit myself. Being an artist is being creative. I’ve always been interested in how the textures of paint react to one another and how color can be transformed by multiple layers.
Where do you find inspiration?I am a visual person, so I’m surrounded by inspiration. I choose to focus on groups of individuals and cityscapes because I love the energy. I have a voyeuristic personally. I’d rather observe than interact.
What would you do with $25,000?I have been working full time as a painter for 6yrs now and over 20yrs as a professional artist. The money will be extremely beneficial for my business and help give me an opportunity to travel and experience more of the world
