Connect What is your favorite type of art to create?

I don’t fit into a single box because my art is a collection of everyday living. It’s the fluid line of a skateboard, the texture of a canvas, the framing of a photo, and the soul of a well-designed room. To me, fashion and interiors are just different ways to tell the same story. I’m not interested in being one specific type of artist, I’m a curator of my environment. Whether I’m painting or styling, I’m capturing the rhythm of a life lived with intention. My art is the total sum.

Where do you find inspiration?

Inspiration is the grit in the grain. It’s my clipper’s drone and the scent of tonic on a Tuesday. My canvas is the person in the chair the jawline tension and the silence between their words. I’m obsessed with the messy middle: that heavy, quiet transition where someone is halfway between who they were and who they’re becoming. Like a weathered brick wall, there’s soul in the overlooked. I’m not inventing beauty, I’m just staying open to the raw, stubborn truth of the everyday grind.

What would you do with $25,000?

If I won, that $25k would buy the one thing an artist and a new father needs most; air. With a baby girl arriving in August, part would go toward the quiet security of "time" giving my family the space to breathe and bond without the grind. The rest goes into the roots of our creativity. My wife is a brilliant musician; I’d invest in a backyard studio. It wouldn't just be a room for us to create but a sanctuary where our daughter grows up seeing that art is a life worth living.
