Stylized watercolor paintings that make light of unpleasantries and/or make the viewer ask questions.
Where do you find inspiration?I draw inspiration from the human condition, absurdities, colors found in nature and, of course, cartoons!
What would you do with $25,000?I'd use the money to start a small business selling my work online, and at different craft fairs. I really want to invest the money in my future as an artist, continue to get my work out there, and do something I've always wanted to do.
