I paint abstracted figures that translate my thoughts, emotions and experiences.
Where do you find inspiration?Emotional connection is what I crave and most of the time, what's missing. Learning how to express joy and love is just as healing as expressing doubt or pain in my work. Allowing someone to experience that thought or emotion creates the connection.
What would you do with $25,000?Holy moly, what would I do with that kinda largess is a great question. I would finally get an e-commerce site set up where people could buy prints and have them matted or framed. I took so much inspiration from a trip to Italy a couple years ago, so I would do an exclusively artistic excursion of some kind. Art supplies of course and maybe something to help vent my spare bedroom where I use spray paints sometimes.
