What job did you have before becoming an artist?

I have been utilizing my artistic talents for much of my 20ish working years in one capacity or another. I think the only job I can remember not being artistic related was babysitting my cousins when I was 15.

How did you get a career as an artist?

I created set design for commercials. I began to notice the lovely artwork hanging on many of the sets that I helped design and thought, "I could do that"

What styles of art have you tried? Which is your favorite?

I've always painted in a contemporary style, so that is my favorite.

Does the place you live have an effect on your art?

I never thought of that before. I have 4 distinct seasons now to inspire me and yet I'm most motivated in the spring and fall.

What is your biggest inspiration for art

Nature inspires me. I love the color of the trees against a tranquil blue sky or a flower as it blooms in spring.

What is one thing about you that most people don't know?

I wasn't always a vegetarian (in high school I once ate a 10 oz Steak with my dad in under 5 minutes, myth or reality??)

What art style do you classify your art as and why?

Transitional style. Although I paint a lot of floral and landscape imagery I do so in a modern way.

What art pieces (if any) do you have on your walls?

I have some of my own art but I also have a Banksy limited Edition print that I LOVE.
