What is your favorite type of art to create?

I don’t believe in a specific genre to follow. I try to express my inner thoughts and the elements within society that stimulates those thoughts and ideas. Art is forever changing and should evolve. As an artist, you should always strive for the new.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in everyday life and the events that shape my life. I also find inspiration from other artists. I have studied art history and various artists have inspired me such as Redon, Blake, Bacon, and Munch.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would invest it for my son’s future education.
