I love creating anything if it means getting my hands dirty, yet also allows me to be precise and broad in my depictions. My passion lies in oil painting. I love the way the paints move, their texture like butter. I love the way the colors mix and set. They're still alive, still curing if you come back to it within days. Allowing the colors to mix in a subtle way and create even deeper colors.

I find inspiration in nature and the human condition, in the vibrancy of the water, sky and everything in between. I love mountains; I am fascinated by nature and how it has evolved over billions of years. How nature changes and fractalizes; being able to learn its patterns as its unveiled through my own artistic process. Secondly, I find inspiration in the interactions we have, the subconscious and sometimes ignored dynamics between the self and those with whom we are closest.

I would first take care of some of my debts to ensure my blossoming family's future is taken care of. As I work in the field of addiction, my inclination is to make sure I donate a healthy portion of it, as well. This will allow me the freedom in both time and money to create freely, bringing my most encouraged ideas to life. I can continue my love of engaging with the community through classes and free events, modeling for a younger generation a new (and old) way to see the world.
