Q+A
Why is art important to you?
Because it allows me to convey how I feel about life and the world around us. Because it's the only thing that I never lose interest in.

To inspire; to remind that there is a whole word out there, a whole universe, that exists and continues to exist whether the economy is good or bad.
When did you start making art, and why?
