A FEW THINGS ABOUT THE ARTIST

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

I am busy with my day job as an accounting assistant, family, three doggies, writing / editing a manuscript and creative ventures including art.

2. Why do you make art?

To challenge and / or give viewers a new point of view by using a different medium. To see the same side of the coin from a different angle and / or to see another side of it entirely.

3. What inspires you?

Philosophy, science, math, movies, books, quotes etc. It is hard to pick just one aspect that inspires me when it's all connected. The grand scheme of things. I love to combine philosophy and spiritual and science all in one place.

4. What/who are your influences?

Everyone. I try to keep an open mind. Negative people - I want to prove them wrong, and for the want of better words - stick it to them. Positive people - God, family and friends - I want to validate their belief in me.

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

Dead: my grandmother. Because what I feel and understand now, I wish I knew as a child, to be more there for her.
