I create because I need to. It’s the only part that’s always made sense. It is my modern magic.

Picking a favorite art form feels impossible. My most intimate form is through song and my most practiced is with a pencil. But I love metal work, and there is nothing like working with vibrant pigment on paper or canvas. Creation in general is my most favorite thing.
Where do you find inspiration?I first found it through feeling. I allowed my emotions and thoughts to inspire my direction. And while I like to still do that there are times when an idea forms so vividly I have to create it, like it was transmitted from above. I’ve also found inspiration through travel, the beauty in our nature is an endless supply of art.
What would you do with $25,000?I would travel and see all the things and places I’ve been craving to see and try. I would get that inspiration first hand rather than the books and web searches. This way id find that bit of freedom I’ve been searching for and finally take off and get my foot in on this journey. I want to treat my friends and family too, a second of peace.
