| Why did you want to become an artist? | I became an artist at the age of 7 because it was something I had the talent to do |
| How would you describe your style or approach to your work? | As a portriat artist I want to capture more than just the image, I want to paint in the spirit and the presence of my clients personality. As to everything else I just love doing it...okay? |
| What is the best advice you've received from other artists? | I've never really had advice from other artists, probably the one bit of adivice I've gotten is charge for your time well when doing portraits, it's a difficult thing to create a likeness in convincing quality |
| What would you like people to take away from your art? | Well, my photography and art are different but I'd want them to see mystery in my B&W and I'd want them to be lifted and inspired by by landscapes and other paintings |
