My favorite type of art to create is expressive, intuitive portraiture that exists between the visible world and the unseen one. I’m drawn to painting faces and figures not as exact likenesses, but as emotional landscapes—places where memory, mystery, and spirit meet.
Where do you find inspiration?Have you ever noticed something outside your window that made you wonder? Or experienced something in the woods while camping that stayed with you long after? I'm inspired by those things and the things I see while looking out my window. and my sister's farm at the end of the world.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the money to help buy a home—a place of stability, peace, and creativity. Having a secure home would allow me to dedicate more energy to my art and continue creating meaningful work.
