I find that surrealism is the style I always circled back around to. However, I like to explore my mind to matter limits. I am hungry to learn many art forms, styles, and cultures. My favorite style today may be another style next season of my life.
Where do you find inspiration?I use self reflection and meditation to get into a flow-state that helps me find inspiration, and digest the world around me. I find that I am most inspired by knowing, when I explore and express that connection and creativity through my artwork others may find the same inspiration and internal reflection because of my art.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in myself, so that I can continue to keep pouring into the world around me. To build a studio at my home so I can delve back into other branches and mediums of art. I would also use funds to start a non-profit community art program, with emphasis on access, education, and healing.
