I love to create art because it gives me a vehicle to communicate my ideas in a way that is exciting for the viewer.

My favorite type of art to create is wearable art for musical performers, although I also love painting and pop art.
Where do you find inspiration?My main inspirations are music, fashion and pop culture. I am very fortunate to live in a creative city with many inspirational collaborators as well.
What would you do with $25,000?I would love to put the $25,000 towards a downpayment for a home with a room with tons of natural light that I could have all of my art equipment and supplies in instead of struggling to see anything in my dark, rented townhouse.
