The reason I create art is purely for self preservation. I don’t think I could navigate this life without the experience.

I like making art that happens organically, using tools like gravity and force to let the pieces fall where they may and then add more. Always add more.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from my impossible wish list. I paint the places and the things I cannot have or that don’t exist. I paint the things I wish I could express in words but am unable to. I create the feelings I wish I could hold on to, the fleeting heartbeat that feels different than the rest.
What would you do with $25,000?I would take my amazing fiancé in an unforgettable honeymoon. I’d spend the whole summer in some old European town and buy lots of giant canvases and gallons of paint and invest in myself. I’d be worth it because I’d be The People’s Artist.
