1. Where does your inspiration come from?

I don’t really have an inspiration for my art. I paint for myself. Art is my creative outlet. It keeps my mind at peace. I create what makes me happy.

1. What is your favorite medium to use and why?

My favorite medium is oil paint. I have always liked painting, and I prefer oil over acrylic. Oil is much richer and thicker than acrylic; it also takes longer to dry which gives me more time to work on my pieces.

1. What are your goals to grow as an artist or other future related aspirations?

My goals in art are to only create what makes me happy. When art becomes a chore or an obligation, it is no longer effective as a creative outlet and so I also hope to never overwork myself artistically. I want to improve my skills obviously, but more important is maintaining a healthy artistic balance and making sure I am happy while creating.
