What is your first memory of creating art?
My first memory of creating art was when I was in Pre-K and I had to draw my family on a blue
piece of paper. It was not very good, but I remember how much the teacher seemed impressed
that I drew in perspective.
Do you have a favorite piece that you have created? What makes it special to you?
My favorite piece of artwork is my first abstract painting, which resembled a Kandinsky. Before
that, I had never painted an abstract work because I did not think I could. After creating that first
painting, it is all I want to do now!
Do you have a favorite artist you that you admire or that inspires you?
I have never fallen in love with any specific artist in particular, but rather find inspiration for my
artwork in everyday life.
What do you listen to when you paint?
I do not listen to any specific music, but I do enjoy having people in the room with me while I
work.
What tool in your studio could you not live without?
I cannot live without my watercolors! It is my favorite medium, and I could paint with them all
day long.
Do you have a favorite subject matter?
I do not have a favorite subject matter, but rather I like to paint abstract pictures and let my
work evolve as I paint.
What is your preferred medium?
My preferred medium is watercolors. When trying watercolors for the first time, I really disliked
this medium, as I did not like how difficult it was to control, and the sometimes messy nature of
them. After more practice with them, I fell in love. The vibrant colors, the beautiful fluidity, and
the elegant softness of the paints render them, in my opinion, the most magnificent of all media.
