I love seeing people engage with my work, I like the reactions that it gets. Creating art allows me to communicate with people without words

I really enjoy painting. Mostly oil on birch panels. I create spooky, folkloric art heavily influenced by old children’s book illustrations from around the world.
Where do you find inspiration?EVERYWHERE! Nature, interactions with people, observing the world around me, music, things people say, stories they tell, the list goes on and on. Whether it’s positive or negative, this world is a strange and inspiring place.
What would you do with $25,000?I am a single father to two awesome boys. I am currently deeply in debt on utility bills, and I recently lost our car because I was so behind on payments. I would absolutely use it to catch up on bills, and put a down payment on a modest yet rad car. It would take a LOT of the stress out of our lives.
