I’m drawn to creating work that provokes thought and emotion. I follow concepts that come to me intuitively, letting my mood and inspiration guide the direction of each piece.
Where do you find inspiration?My work is rooted in lived experience and the subtleties of everyday life. I approach inspiration as an active practice.. one that requires attention, presence, and curiosity. Whether in the studio or walking to the grocery store, I’m constantly observing, listening, and sensing what surrounds me
What would you do with $25,000?I would love to have a studio or art space here in LA where I can work, meet people, do shows and make it my own. I do all my art at my tiny room and always felt that having a bigger space would take me to a next level of evolution. I want to relaunch my clothing brand project as an extension of my art work
