I am compelled to create art every single day. It helps me remain calm in chaos and happy. I hope it brings beauty to other people's lives.

I love to create geometric paintings, specifically fluorescent black light paintings. They are so fun. For me its always about colors and the pattern. Can you find it? What do you see? How does it make you feel? That is important to me. Art that moves people.
Where do you find inspiration?I don't know exactly where my inspiration comes from. Maybe its divine intervention. I see things in my head and have to get them out. Patterns inspire me. Colors speak to me. I have three art notebooks for tiny sparks of ideas that come to me. It helps to go back and look at those ideas.
What would you do with $25,000?I would buy more art supplies and canvases! I would like to have a dedicated space to create or at least a better chair to sit in while I'm painting!
