Where are you from and how does that affect your work?
-
I’m from the West Coast of the United States. Don’t think it really affects my work much.
-
Who are your biggest artistic influences?
-
I can’t say I have any, I like a lot of artists, but I don’t really study them, or art in general.
-
Tell me about your favorite medium.
-
I like them all. I appreciate all art forms. As for me, I keep it simple: pencil, markers, thick bright acid-free cardstock/index.
-
Where do you find inspiration?
-
Everywhere, I never know where a pattern might emerge, I just hope to recall it.
-
When is your favorite time of day to create?
-
Depends on the day, but usually any. Some days, if i have time, I’ll spend the whole day working on pieces.
-
Describe how art is important to society.
-
It invokes thoughts and feelings, usually positive.
-
What motivates you to create?
-
I have a lot of supplies, so I need to use them all.
-
How do you define success as an artist?
-
I don’t. I’d rather focus on happiness as an artist. Success can mean many things.
