Oil paintings that depict ordinary things, places, and animals. I like to highlight something that is over looked as ordinary, but in a way that makes it glow. In a way that makes it seem nostalgic and idealized.
Where do you find inspiration?The agricultural area that I live in. The mountains that surround me. I am mostly inspired by light and shadow. The most inspirational time of day for me is the golden hour. The light is warm and glowing, the shadows long and dramatic.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the prize money to invest into a gallery space. I would run the gallery and a working studio myself.Where I would host workshops, and create community events that focus on wellness. I would integrate art as a practice for wellness.
