Since I was a child, I’ve always been interested in the challenge of realism. To create a story or tell a story through the artist’s lens seen through the viewer to complete the story.
Where do you find inspiration?My greatest inspiration is from the masters of the Baroque era. Caravaggio and Rembrandt are among my favorites. I love the dramatic effects of light vs dark.
What would you do with $25,000?As a struggling artist and SAG actor, It would go a long way to help pay the bills and build a better studio for auditioning and give $5,000 to another actor or artist that is also struggling financially in this tough time. I believe strongly in paying it forward!
