Some of the types are painting, drawing, sculpture. But I will have to say my absolute favorite is miniatures, i love the attention to detail and how anything can be a miniature. Honestly it gives a sense of godhood when creating miniatures, because you get to design, create and watch as a mini world is being constructed.
Where do you find inspiration?One of the biggest inspirations was from Walter Wick, the photographer and artist for the i spy book series. As well as Joe Fig, where he made miniatures of artist's work station/ art studios really making them come to life and feel real. Of course I cant go without saying my family, they support me and inspire me with such confidence and love.
What would you do with $25,000?The way i would use the $25,000 is to help me travel around the United States and share my art with many people. While also helping me get inspiration for new projects by seeing new and wonderful places. Itll help in the endeavor of a moblie home/ art studio.
