I love to make art because nothing can freeze and capture the emotional essence of a fleeting moment more than a painting can.

I love figurative art because I think it’s easy to digest for more viewers and can represent an array of human emotions through a fleeting memory or moment.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration mainly through traveling, experiencing people, and watching others experience moments themselves. I like to document human experiences through painting that I observed while traveling.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000 I would start an art co-op workshop in Los Angeles where I could provide people with studio space and host classes myself and provide other artists with the space to host classes in their art forms for the community in all different mediums. This space would double as a workshop and studio space for artists in the community.
