There isn’t a thing on this Earth that I can’t find inspiration in. I see everything in daydreamy colors and a brighter light than what may be in the reality of the world. It has always kept me on my toes to be inspired by all that is around me. I let my emotions and intuitions guide me in my art as well as my many passions in this world.

From things like my love for Entomology, and the opposite side of the spectrum like my love for Comics and Gaming. I find inspiring things everywhere I look, and that leads my creations.

I find deep inspiration in emotion, as all artists do knowingly or not. Emotion guides the brain in many ways including the creative endeavors we all as humans do. This includes my feelings of life in general, my experiences of travel, family and friends, and so much more!

I’m always truly inspired by my family, as I may have the coolest one that has graced this planet.

My Mom who has always been my rock and best friend; is in simple terms a badass. Hiking the AT through, walking across the El Camino in Spain, traveling for years on her own across Europe and Southeast Asia. Car Camping to travel to beautiful places all around the states, she’s truly capable of anything she puts her mind to. Both my sister and myself definitely take after our parents in our endeavors of life, in the most obscure ways but we are determined (Stubborn even) to pursue the things we love with raging fire in our hearts.

My sister has become an Ultra Marathon runner after being a Sky Diver, and a Base Jumper. I’m not sure there’s an extreme sport she wouldn’t do but she does it all while pursuing her doctorate in Philosphy. I am truly lucky to have such insanely inspirational and motivational people to guide me in this life.

Of course I have my Dad as well who hasn’t met a day in his life that he could stop working on something. After 26 years in the Air Force as an EOD Special Operator he still can’t sit still, now running a farm, a gym and building his dream house by hand.

I’m lucky that this is the family that has inspired my art, pushed my into my dreams even with their own hesitations and taught me to work until my hands give out if that’s what I want to pursue. A life full of zest and hard work, a passion that can’t be tamed or put out by anything that’s tried to stop me. A world waiting for each and everyone of us to take what is meant for us.

I will continue everyday with stars in my eyes and a world of color around me to inspire me and my creations. I’m lucky enough to be in a field that I can share that love and passion with those around me even if I consistently take on more than I should.
