A FEW THINGS ABOUT THE ARTIST

1. What do you do when you’re not making art? (Day job etc...).

I’m a full time artist. So when I’m not creating, I’m marketing, updating my website, and managing other art pages.

2. Why do you make art?

I make art, because it is my passion, my happiness, and my sanity. There is nothing like creating something that brings joy to other people.

3. What inspires you?

I’m inspired by so many things. Other artists in certain ways. I’ll see something in another piece of art, and my wheels turn. Theatre. Whether it be creating art for a play, or just watching how the light bounces off of the stage. Dreams. I have been inspired many times by my dreams, and flashes of color combinations in my head.

4. What/who are your influences?

I love Van Gogh. The choppy flow. There is a certain fluid movement that occurs in his work, that has absolutely influenced mine.

5. If you could meet anyone dead or alive who would it be?

I’d like to sit down, and have coffee with Quentin Tarantino. He has such an interesting mind, and a wealth of knowledge. I absolutely love listening to him talk. Literally about any subject.
