Q: When did you first realize you wanted to be an artist?
A: Ever since I could hold a pencil.
Q: What kind of environment did you grow up in, and how did it shape your artistic sensibilities?
A: My great grandmother was a painter and so was my grandfather. My aunts are also painters.
Q: What’s art for you, how do you define it?
A: A tangible source of expression
Q: What role does emotion play in your creative process and finished pieces?
A: It dictates every aspect of it.
Q: Can you walk us through your creative process?
A: My emotions give way to my ideas and narratives and that in turn becomes my art.
Q: What mediums do you use in your practice and why?
A: I use watercolours, pencils, photography, and writing. It just comes more naturally to me.
Q: What inspires you most in life outside of art?
A: The people I love. And nature. Definitely nature.
Q: If you could have dinner with any artist, living or dead, who would it be and why?
A: Man Ray. I’d ask him to make a surrealist portrait of me.
Q: What message do you hope your art conveys about you and your journey?
A: To take it easy. Be kinder. Eat the rich. That kind of thing.
Q: If you had to describe your relationship with your art in one sentence, what would it be?
A: The easiest and the most difficult practice I’ve ever done.
Q: If your art had a soundtrack, what kind of music would it include?
A: The entire album by Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi.
Q: How does the art market influence your practice?
A: It makes me never want to make work again. I hate how exclusive it is.
Q: How has the internet and virtual presence impacted your practice?
A: Yes. It takes away that experience of taking in art face to face for the first time.
