1. Who/What inspires you?

Overall I would say music and other people inspire me, but books have been a major source inspiration for me since I was younger.

​

2. What made you start drawing?

I've been drawing for as long as I can remember, but I really started to take art seriously when I was about nine. I was taking a summer art course and my instructor saw a lot of potential in me and encouraged me a lot.

​

3. How has your past shaped your drawing?

I went through a lot of personal and medical issues from the ages of 11-14, some of which I still deal with today. I feel like that has given me a more abstract kind of view on life which I portray through drawing.

​

4. What medium do you enjoy?
For a while I worked with graphite and charcoal, but for the past year I've really gotten into watercolor.

​

5. What is your favorite color scheme to use?
I like to use greyscale tones, as well as more jewel tones. However, I do enjoy using pastel colors as well.

​

6. How do you foster your drawing skills?
I've taken a few art courses in the past few years, but I mostly just try to draw something every day. I feel like keeping a good record of what you make can really help you see your progress since many people get discouraged when they don't feel as if they are improving.

​

7. If you could meet any artist who would you meet?
My current favorite artist is Echo Gillette, as I lover her personal style and I think she is very creative overall and I would love to know where she gets her inspiration. She has created some really unique artwork and I would love to know where that comes from.
