What is your favorite type of art to create?

I like to blend Modern expressionism with Pop influences-bold color and graphic form combined with a touch of quiet introspective emotion . Texture , I glue things to my paintings too :)

Where do you find inspiration?

Everywhere - at anytime . Subtle beauty , cultural storytelling , muted details , past memories or future visions . Life itself is inspiring.

What would you do with $25,000?

I will invest in my Art . Buying time to paint and further my portfolio and my social Media . Oh ! And a bottle of champagne . Cheers ! :)
