My mind is overly active and in a world already riddled in chaos and turmoil, making art feels like the only place in which I have peace.

I love to do portraiture but have been increasingly interested in landscapes. I use oil and acrylic paints, but lean towards oils mostly. I would love to say that I focus on one particular type of art form but I practice and dabble in it all. If something feels inspiring I want to make pieces that give me that same feeling and to interpret my own madness and bring it to life in it’s physical form.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere. Life is inspiring, tiny moments captured throughout the day, in the faces of others, their joy, their sorrow, their dreams and nightmares.
What would you do with $25,000?I would leave my serving job and make art my full time career, focusing on how to break into an industry already designed to keep you out unless you have money.
