How did you first get started in your craft?
I've almost always been making art. I did stop for a full 10 years after high school due to depression and thought I had lost all ability to make art until I went back to school at Everett Community College and took a figure drawing class.
I realized I never lost my ability, just my spark. Specifically, drawing live music, I started in August 2016 at a SLAM art & music event at Tony V's and more consistently in April of this year.

Favorite Artist(s) and/or Inspirations?
Maurizio Catalan, Jenny Saville, & I am very excited about all the great bands that are local in this area.
What’s the most challenging part of being an artist, or something you had to overcome?
I am a very private person and I am very tentative about putting my art out into the world. I have to work on that.

How can people be supportive of the arts?
Get money straight to the artists! Learn their names and talk about them to friends.
Favorite place in Everett to eat?
I live too close to the best taco truck in Everett.
Favorite place in Everett to hang?
Sharing Wheels! Luckily, I'm employed there now, so, hanging is lucrative.
