IN CASE YOU'RE DYING TO KNOW...
WHAT IS YOUR STYLE?
If we're talking about my clothes, I would say eclectic but mature 8 year-old who knows her worth. The way I draw, paint, etc, depends on my medium but mostly my mood. Broad strokes for playful days, agonizing detail for the serious ones.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DOING _____?
My family says I was painting and drawing before I could talk. So I guess you could say I'm a ~natural~.
WHO IS YOUR INSPIRATION?
Several great pioneers in the art world (Kahlo, Frankenthaler, Pollock, KJM, Picasso, Murakami-you name it) along with several new artists - many of which are my friends - inspire me daily. My favorite UIC A&AH professor taught me to have a better eye for detail, an open mind, and inspired me to become a more disciplined artist. Lastly, people and their emotions give me a lot of inspo. People are wild.
CAN I SEND YOU MONEY?
Of course! SO kind of you to ask. Venmo or zelle preferred.
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
Oblivion.
& clowns, obviously. Who really even likes clowns?
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
Originally, on Earth in 1996 on a cold Chicago day. Raised in Scottsdale, AZ, home of the most cacti, retired people, cacti, & golf courses.
