Creating is my happy place. It comes from within. When I'm painting, the world melts away and it's just me and my art.

Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration everywhere! I find color palettes in so many places. Nature, landscapes, pictures, billboards, clothing - literally everywhere! I love seeing colors together, especially when they are surprising. Once colors have been picked out, I lay down that first dot and the world melts away as I dot.
What would you do with $25,000?Buy some supplies! Maybe update my studio. I'd like to host a Dot Art retreat in 2027.
