I love to create art because it's true freedom, living and breathing in my own world that I invite people into. Wolves hunt. I do this.

I like to create paintings and sculptures that focus on the raw strength, vulnerability, and beauty of the human form. Presently, I'm focused on works that demonstrate lighting quality and emotional expression.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in watching people interact with each other, in very public yet highly intimate interactions. People leaning in close to share private jokes, whispering into another's ear, or even just getting lost in their own thoughts are things I look for.
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off some debt and put money into retirement investments for my children and grand children. If I have enough, I may invest in some additional art equipment and gear for livestreaming.
