Where do you find inspiration?From the greats. From everyday life. From the kids I teach. From cultural phenomena. Every painting has a different inspiration.

I wanted to create something that is true to me and that could connect me with similar minded people based on the feelings of raw expression.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to buy a container and make it into an art studio. Also buy materials that aren’t available on the island and of course to setup exhibitions globally. All of it will be invested straight back into the art cause that’s all I do
