I create art because it is what feeds my soul and I hope in sharing it can also feed other people's souls. Bringing joy to people as well.

I am first and foremost a painter, working mostly in oils and acrylic, and have experimented with mixed media. I work in an array of styles because I need variation on order to grow as an artist. I love doing my photrealistic cannabis bud paintings, but I also am working on a collection that is more bold, colorful and tells stories in the look of stained glass windows. A common theme of my art is they are every colorful, I love to use bright color palettes in most of my paintings.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the world around me. I have an attraction to the weird and wonderful, so alot of my paintings have odd themes and concepts. I love when someone looks at my works and it provokes a kind of "wow, thats different" reaction. Each of my collections reflect a piece of me. I love coming up with an idea that provokes the imagination. Seeing my paintings come to life brings me so much joy and passion and when people resignate with certain pieces it feels beautiful and purposeful.
What would you do with $25,000?I would heavily invest in my art practice, however that looks like at the time. More supplies, marketing, travel to show in other places, entry fees, and so much more. I also have a side- business where either teach others how to paint so I'd also love to invest more into that. Let's create more artists!
