What's your favorite way to be creative?
My favorite way to be creative is through watercolor and ink. I enjoy how unforgiving watercolor is. I often find myself letting the color bleed and run wild, which then prompts me to add layers to the piece creating a design very different than originally envisioned.
Where do you find inspiration?
What sparks me creatively is color- specifically the high contrast of colors found in nature. Classic examples are morning alpenglow, the turning of leaves in fall, or the milky turquoise color found in alpine lakes. When I see these colors in wild, I often go back to my studio and transfer those colors into my pieces.
What are your 3 favorite feelings?
One of my favorite feelings is when I feel both scared and excited at the same time. Those moments when your heart skips a beat and your mind is laser focused on one goal. I enjoy these moments most because they seem to happen when I am pushing myself outside of my comfort zone, which makes me feel like I am alive and growing.
