Q: What made you start drawing?
A: I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. Granted, when I first started it was absolutely horrendous, it's always been something I go back to when I really need it. I can remember drawing pictures to go along with a story I was working on at the age of seven, and being so proud of myself!
Q: How has your past shaped your drawings?
A: As someone with depression and anxiety, on top of a difficult home life, my drawings tend to be more optimistic. That way, I don't lose hope. I've had to grow up very quickly, and I feel like that is why my drawings are so much more realistic than 'stylistic'.
Q: What's your favorite color scheme?
A: My color scheme varies greatly depending on what I'm creating, which is nice as an artist.
Q: If you could meet any artist, who would you meet?
A: If I could meet any artist I would totally meet Van Gogh, mainly just to stare at his missing ear.
