I have been painting since I was a toddler- it’s my way to express my living thirst. Ephemeral and alive. The puzzle pieces of my life.

I am versatile and complex. Depending on which medium I use I express myself differently. My favorite muse/inspiration comes from emotions that cover the full range of our human experience. Mundane, or profound, a wide eyed plethora of what I have witnessed and what I feel.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from natures variety, from the tiniest dust particle to the enormous universe. I marvel at how precious life can be and how it provides and provokes desires. The voracious hunger to create what I feel can be dauntingly mesmerizing and I get lost when working without any awareness of time. My intentions are to create something from the love in my heart that can give joy, beauty, kindness, peace or encouragement. Spreading and sharing my love unconditionally.
What would you do with $25,000?Honestly, it would be a great boost to buy supplies unhampered, and to find a larger studio space. I would look to fuel my energies and direction into making a serious body of work. I see the pieces of my life’s work as a puzzle coming together as a whole. I have many ideas and lots of energy - $25,000 would allow me the freedom to dive in. I would like to gift something to help another artist in some small way too.
