There’s 9 million artists and they’re all great in their own way. You’ve got to find your own way. If you can find a way that’s a little bit different and be the best you can be at it, that’s all you can really ask for. The biggest thing of all is that you do the work.

My artistic life was inspired by when I was 21 and hitchhiked around the country for three years straight. I just lived out of a backpack and played music wherever I went. I started trusting the world by throwing myself out there. I would say that has propelled me to believe in my art and that my message is an important thing to continue. I’ve had a lot of trauma and situations that have happened in my life where the fact that I survived through them is mind-blowing to me. So, now I use my art as a cathartic catalyst to share personal narrative stories that may inspire other people to keep living.

I’ve been taking pictures since I was a little kid. Just do it, like the Nike commercials. Just go out and take pictures. I’m self-taught, so by doing it that’s how you learn.

I really like pen and ink but I do a lot of acrylic as well. I’m planning on majoring in medical illustration. I had a lot of ankle surgeries when I was a kid and I would always look at the diagrams, so I think that’s what really peaked my interest. Don’t let people tell you not to do what you want to do. If you’re determined to do something then you’ll find a way to make it work for you.
