Killer Art, obviously. Art that engages, intrigues and connects. First with me then with the viewer. Right now, I am drawn to large scale acrylic paintings. I want to get lost in the canvas and let it reveal where it is going. Painting the invisible without a fixed outcome. Turning chaos into clarity. That is the spark!
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration is over rated. I don’t find it, it finds me. Once I take action, it shows up to the party.
What would you do with $25,000?Let me win it and then I’ll show you. What I can tell you is it will go back into my creativity and the work. An opportunity to expand my art. Also being able to work on larger canvases, and getting my art in front of the people who need to see it. I know I am capable of more. And winning that would mean more eyes on the work I do.
