I feel a wild sense of freedom and disobedience. I make a huge mess and that brings me huge joy.

What is your favorite type of art to create?

I think I am heading towards abstract portraits as a main focus eventually - but along the way I’m loving figure drawing, ceramics, sculpture and collage/mixed media.

Where do you find inspiration?

From the people around me and the politics of life - one day I’m painting abstract flowers and the next portraying female rage. I need the balance of bouncing between joy and despair.

What would you do with $25,000?

I think I would put it towards art education for myself and others.
