I create art to escape. Life, the world, it’s all so noisy, and overwhelming. Art shuts it all out, brings quiet, and peace.

It’s all mood related. Ink drawings that make you curl up your nose and ask “why?” Is my favorite art on my dark days. While brighter landscapes of the beautiful coast of Maine, done ultimately in acrylic bring me joy on my brighter days.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration all around me. I live in a very beautiful place, that I take for granted a lot of the time. Painting these landscapes not only allows me to escape chaos, it helps me connect with the beauty of this place. I also find inspiration through the minds of the younger people in my life. They have the best untainted imaginations!
What would you do with $25,000?I have a dream of opening a space for young inspiring artists to work. Growing up, I never had access to a lot of materials. While in my area we have some pretty amazing art schools, and retreats… for the wealthy. Underprivileged talent becomes stagnated with financial frustrations. I want to help make art available for everyone.
