1. What inspires your work?
My inspirations stems from many varying sources. Some of the most influential being underrated artists of the 19th century, 1970s design and culture, photography and music. Others include various cultures of the African diaspora, old vinyl album covers, fantasy art and film, textiles, wood, colour. The list could go on and on.
2. Who are some of your inspirations?
Contemporary living artists such as Jeremy Lipking, David Kassan, Audrey Kawasaki, Brad Kunkle, Tim Okamura along with a number of others, help keep me going. They are all successful artists making a living at what they do and of course are incredibly talented and doing great things.
3.Where did you get your start?
I’ve been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. I took an art class as a child and then was part of an art program during high school. From high school I went to an art university and from there I’ve been freelancing and doing contract work in the arts since!
4.What are you goals and aspirations?
To become a successful and famous artist. Soon!
5.What would you say to aspiring artists?
It’s a lot of hard work, but if you are passionate about, it’s your ultimate dream and believe in what you do, it’s worth it!
6.Do you live by a quote? If so what is the quote and how does it motivate you?
I don’t live by any particular quote. There are many that resonate with me and I choose to re-read and remind myself of them. More often though, I try to meditate every day. I’ve been doing guided meditation by Deepak Chopra, someone I have a great deal of love and appreciation for. Listening to his wise words everyday motivates me in so many ways into being the best person I can be. That in itself I am grateful for.
7. How can people follow you work?
