A groove that allows me to feel free. Existence = Beauty & Shit- In the grand scheme & mind. Art is remedy; transposition of it all.

Oilpainting- There are different mental and physical approaches that go into painting. Play of color, viscosity, strokes, textures, dancing brushes- targeted & lost in the wonder of a scene. Sometimes that scene exists as a place in nature; other times, it appears unfolding purely out of a feeling in the moment of my mind- embellished and developed over time. I love painting nature
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration is a feeling that comes from everything, everywhere. There is a drive, itch, in me, to express. Prior to focusing on oilpainting I was an aspiring trombonist. The act of painting is rhythm in color. Landscapes of my mind (what I call abstract prose ) are inseparable to music. A 6 month road trip from Illinois to the Arctic Ocean- fully emersed in nature - seeing the continent - dramatically metamorphosised the subject matter of my work. Nature- i paint landscapes of my life.
What would you do with $25,000?I'd give a bunch to my mum, who I live with and has been supportive on every level since forever. The rest- id invest in nurturing experience - feel the expanse, explore plein air, new scenes, nature, environments, paint incessantly, feel, breathe. I'd get out of these suburban walls, hit the road, embrace natural creation; my muse; inspire, love, dedicate all of me to the cause - the remedy- paint paint paint paint paint paint paint
