I’m a mixed media artist, so it varies depending on my mood and what I want to express. Watercolor will forever hold my heart, so if I had to pick, that would be my medium of choice.
Where do you find inspiration?I am fascinated by space, the esoteric, the unexplained, and what it means to be human. To me all those themes are linked. Existence is such a mystery to me, and I use are to help me understand it.
What would you do with $25,000?It would change my life! I would invest most of it towards tools that would help me continue to create. I’d also make sure my vehicle get anything fixed that needs attention. That is how I can get my art pieces to places for people to see.
