· Do you make a career out of or hope to make a career out of art, or is it a sideline for you?
Art is my career. I do intend to profit from it.
· What is it about your work that makes it speak to people or to the community at large?
I believe my use of colors and the way I compose the forms I choose is what has a strong impact on my viewers.
· How do you let people know about your work?
I have a website and I have my work displayed in homes throughout the country. I have a contact list, so when I have updates with my work, or shows happen, I send out emails to inform people.
· What do you feel inspires you to make art in the particular medium you have chosen?
My medium chose me. (oil paint) As for fashion, I have a more philosophical view to it as opposed to a strictly aesthetic perspective, so my desire for change is what inspires me to create clothing.
· Why Miami?
I was born and raised in Hollywood, Fl., family, the sun, and our gorgeous ocean.
· Do you have a favorite artist from the past or present?
Dali, Khalo, Olsen, Chicago, and Mutu, to name a few.
· How would you compare the art scene in Miami to other cities you have lived or worked in?
Smaller scale.
· If someone wanted to get into being an artist, what would be your first suggestion to them?
Not a suggestion, a question: What are you willing to sacrifice?
