I love working with acrylic’s and occasionally experimenting with plaster for added texture and depth. Painting is my favorite way to create, especially when I’m bringing sea life to life with vibrant colors or designing fun, expressive, cartoon style pieces I enjoy the freedom to explore both realism and imagination letting each piece reflect a mix of creativity emotions, and playfulness.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in many places, especially graffiti and artwork on trains, where creativity feels raw and unrestricted seeing how artists express themselves so boldly has always inspired me as I’ve grown older. My inspiration has shifted toward more personal meaning especially my faith.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000 I’d invest in quality art supplies and transform my studio into a fully equipped, inspiring creative space. I’d also use part of it to supporting my community by helping feed the homeless and create art that uplift and brings people together.
