It is my sanctuary. Where I sit quietly in the eye of the storm and find my peace. I paint or draw visions from my dreams.

Surrealism. Oil on canvas, or whatever else is available to me.
Where do you find inspiration?I taught myself to wake up during hypnagogia and copy my visions with pencil. Then paint it later. So my inspiration comes from a random collectiveness of a semiconscious state of mind. I have always been inspired by Salvador Dali’s work. Tim Burton, and Leonid Afremov.
What would you do with $25,000?My dream would come true. I would fill my studio with canvas and paint. Then use it all. I would paint every day until I couldn’t anymore.
