Receive Text UpdatesI create with the intention of touching the minds and hearts of others to be moved towards beauty themselves in their capacity. That is my favorite art to make, whether it be through copper oil paintings, illustrations, egg tempera on wood panels, or metal-smithing mediums.
Where do you find inspiration?My main inspiration has always been the natural beauty of the world. Everything is interconnected and harmonious. When I studied abroad in Italy, I believe I made some of my best work there while being surrounded by endless amounts of art and nature.
What would you do with $25,000?Keep giving back to my community through art-making.
