How did you get in to visual art?

It’s something I’ve done since I was young by watching my dad draw. Later on I decided to make a career out of it.

What is/are your inspirations?

Beauty and emotions inspire me.

What do you get out of it?

A sense of self worth and purpose. I aspire to get to a level where my work changes/influences the way people define creativity.

What kind of challenges have you or do you face?

Perception. What people think I do versus what I think I do.

What’s your day to day like?

I compress everything that needs my attention between 6am and 6pm. At night I shut off.

Any parting thoughts?

Do I need one, seeing that we’ll meet so many times…I just live, I don’t have a quote I live by.
