I love using as many mediums as I can. Creating the illusion of a metal plate that's rusting naturally and constantly changing shades overtime...on a piece of recycled wood is probably my favorite.
Where do you find inspiration?I used to watch my Mother paint on huge canvases with Oils while watching Alfred Hitchcock classics in the living room. She's still my inspiration. We use to have incredibly bright sunsets with many different purples and bright orange clouds that always fascinated me. All of these moments is where my inspiration comes from.
What would you do with $25,000?I would honestly try and get out of debt, and donate art supplies to a nearby school. The first piece of art I made was in 3rd grade and I think giving the influence of technology and A.I. ...now more than ever, It's important to inspire a younger generation to create art and get paint on their hands and clothes.
