One thing I love about myself
My strength
The last trend I followed or unfollowed
Crocs. [Never Followed]
Something I used to struggle with
I still struggle with a lot of things. I work hard to push through and better myself constantly.
One piece of advice I'd give to my younger self
YOU are all you need. If anybody is lucky enough to come into your life, it should be because you want them there, not because you need them.
If my work could tell a story, it would say...
"Girl, you're twisted." :)
Why art?
Because it's the only way for me to truly communicate what's in my head.
Plus art, creativity and colour brings pure happiness, connection and deep, powerful feelings to the world.
Pick one:
1. Money
2. Fame
3. Freedom - 10000000%
Other ____
A secret no-one knows...
Well a few people know.... but... I can play Piano Man on the harmonica. HAHAHA random.
The weirdest thing I've used to make art
Probably the random things I collect and sometimes include in my work somehow, like greyhound bus tickets, barcodes from swing tags, old notes, cut-up birthday cards - stuff like that.
The oddest/funniest comment people have said about me
Um probably a couple of times after seeing my work I've gotten "I'd love to live in your head for a day" (I would not recommend - it's not so chill in there haha).
A creative risk I've taken that paid off
Exposed my soul and inner working of my brain to the world. (And people are connecting with me and my work - mad!)
The strangest thing I own
Probably my huge book collection beside my bed that keeps growing, regardless of only making it a few chapters in to each.
