How long have you been making art?

Please describe your workspace or studio.

I have a small room in our house where I have a studio. I also have a garage workshop where I can build supports and frames.

What’s your favorite place to work away from your studio?

I like to go out and paint landscapes in the field. I get a lot of inspiration from being outdoors.

The world can sometimes feel disconnected and indeed I feel it myself, sometimes very intensely. I know other artists also feel disassociated, isolated and even adversarial with each other so we put fun first and connecting in person.

Do you listen to anything while you work?

I usually listen to music. Often I like the Mandolin Orange, Andrew Bird, Devendra Banhart, Iron and Wine and recently I was introduced to a new band Fort Vine. I also listen to audiobooks sometimes. When I paint outside I don’t usually listen to anything.

Who inspires you?

Michelle of course! She is my biggest supporter. Applying paint to canvas is only part of the work of art certainly connecting with individuals is the other piece and Michelle is magical at opening her heart to the world. Anyone gifted to call her a friend knows it to be true. She inspires me to push beyond making paintings but also serve the world. I see a huge need for people to connect and belong consequently that’s how we came up with the idea for Moss Hollow Gallery. The world can sometimes feel disconnected and indeed I feel it myself, sometimes very intensely. I know other artists also feel disassociated, isolated and even adversarial with each other so we put fun first and connecting in person. It is exciting that we are getting so much positive feedback about the project.
