I like to create things. It’s human nature. It’s therapeutic and entertaining, and I hope only to pass that on to those who view it.

Any, really. I don’t really work with abstracts but I do when I have art block. I do have a tendency towards slightly stylised portraits, usually in pencil. I also love to paint, preferably with oils. You may spy some silly cartoons, too among my work. I illustrate my own children’s fantasy books, and I want to share those as well.
Where do you find inspiration?Anywhere. The beautiful or mundane. Things that catch my eye. Feelings that capture my soul.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put it towards the degree I’m working towards in Jornalism with a minor in art. That and some new oils. ?
