Creating art is how I work through my inexpressible emotions. It allows me to bring what was once intangible into the tangible reality.

This is a difficult one to answer because I’m constantly jumping between different mediums. However, I always find myself going back to painting. The process is just so meditative for me. It has become one of the few spaces I feel that I can expel all my emotions into when I don’t have the words to describe them. So, I guess in a better sense, painting isn’t a favorite, it’s a necessity for my own sanity.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m always moved by authenticity. Sometimes inspiration can come from a beautiful song or a silly thought, other times it can be quite melancholic. Life, even though its chaos, is ripe with so much beauty. There is a limitless world you can tap into for inspiration. However, when you come across true authenticity, you can really feel it.
