My favorite type of art to create is music. I paint here and there, even rotate on a cyr wheel for other’s amusement. Music is one of the few true forms of expression. It vastly connects us all & continues to remind me of why I started in the first place.
Where do you find inspiration?It really dug in When I started with living through various stages of abuse, growing up & needing to find an outlet that I could transmute the rage, and the other cocktail of emotions that usually followed. Creating allowed me to manifest better things in a world that felt destructive. Along the way I was introduced to other art forms and other music makers that have influence over me. I find inspiration in all things the Sun & Moon, Life and death, Water and Fire, Earth & Air, The universe
