I’m currently teaching myself how to use alcohol inks. I also enjoy acrylic and wood working. I was recently gifted a bandsaw as I discovered intarsia. I breathe life back into curbside trash by upcycling and painting the lifeless furniture.
Where do you find inspiration?I was born and raised in a very small town in North Dakota. My favorite subject was art class! Back then we didn’t have the internet or cell phones so I used nature as inspiration. Still inspired by nature but also inspired by other artists and tutorials on the internet.
What would you do with $25,000?I would build myself a fantastic art studio! Then take a mini vaca!!
