Q: Can you share a bit about your background and what initially drew you to pursue art as a passion or career?
A: I created a ton of art as a child and then lost touch with it during my schooling years. In college, I came back to art in a new way with a degree in graphic design. After learning the fundamentals of design, I was able to apply the principles within the world of fine art and murals.
Q: How did you first get involved with Second Saturday, and what does it mean to you as a local artist?

Q: How would you describe your artistic style and what sets your work apart from other artists?
A:My art is comprised of bold colors, and geometric backgrounds, paired with abstract shapes, plants, and flowers. Whether its a mural or canvas art, all the pieces have an underlying connection to the inner child and the whimsy of life.
Q: How has living or working in Sacramento influenced your artistic style?
A:The Sacramento market has given me the chance to expand my style with clients who are open-minded to exploring how my art can work within their brand or interior. This has given me a great foundation to bring my art into new cities around the state.
Q: What are some of your aspirations or goals as an artist, both in terms of your personal growth and the impact you hope to make through your art?
A:I hope to expand the perception of art, as a career, for the younger generations. My goal when installing a mural is to create the background in certain spaces that aim for positive change in people’s lives.
Q: How does participating in events like Second Saturday allow you to connect with your audience or community in ways that are unique compared to other platforms or venues?
