Receive Text UpdatesMy favorite kind of art to create is stippling, along with pencil and pen and ink. That’s where I feel the most comfortable. But lately, I’ve really been enjoying watercolor too—it’s a new favorite I’m still learning.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everyday life, just watching people, noticing little things, and how things feel in the moment. I’ve loved to draw for as long as I can remember, since I could first hold a crayon or pencil, and it’s always just been a part of me. Over time it’s become more than just drawing. It’s how I express things I don’t always have words for.
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off my car an and pay down some debt. Maybe take a small vacation.
