When did you start creating art?
When I figured out I wasn’t supposed to eat the crayons.
What is your favorite piece you have created?
There is this specific drawing with pen and marker that I drew that I considered to be a comfort art piece. It’s a personal art piece that I made when I needed to cope with life.
What inspires you to create a peice?
It can range from mood, music, other art pieces to being up all night with my thoughts alone.
How has your process or style of art changed throughout the years?
I feel like I grew up starting off with intense anime art styles but as I move forward with life and art I shifted to a more cartoon style.
What do you get out of an art block?
I wait for inspiration to slap my face again. Or those two in the morning thoughts come in.
What is your process when creating your pieces?
Sometimes my art pieces are more impulsive- When I do art I always want to let ideas and the process flow and trust in the process. To me when I think too hard I don’t actually make anything.
What is your favorite medium to work with?
I really like painting, I learned a lot of my art skills through painting and traditional sketching.
What does being an artist mean to you?
That’s a broad term to be honest- I feel the term artist can be anyone who is willing to continue a creative path in life regardless of what others say. Artists are people who can turn their vision into a reality in their own form- it’s like instead of following a path that’s already created. Artists will draw that path, color and continue to draw and add more to their path if that makes any sense.
Do you plan to continue with art as a career or in college?
Yes I can’t imagine myself with any other career than art.
Do you have any advice for other young artists?
Trust the process of your art- when it comes to being creative and planning out your work. Let that creativity flow through your thoughts and don’t force it out. Your best works come from genuine creativity. Also never listen to anyone who looks down on you for being creative or think it’s ok to critique your art in a harsh manner- people who judge artist and who never had the time or practice to develop a creative skill don’t have a place to tell you what art is
