What do you do?
I am primarily a painter but like messing around with all sorts of things – sculpture, installation, drawing, print. I will try pretty much anything put in front of me.
When did you get into it?
I’ve been doing this since I could hold a pencil. My favourite oldest drawing is a tiny one of a Power Rangers villain.
Who or what influences you as an artist?
I like artists that stretch or play with the medium they use.
What’s your biggest achievement/proudest moment so far?
Getting through art school, being happy and proud of the work I made there. A couple of awards at graduation didn’t hurt either.
What are your plans for the future?
Keep making work, that’s the main thing. I’ll be taking up Megalo and CCAS residencies this year so I should be pretty busy on that front. Try to rustle up some space for a show or two on the side as well.
What makes you laugh?
Art jokes and the absurd/mundane. I met a lady who told me about seeing a seal that painted pictures at Seaworld and how people were paying a whole $50 for them. If only I was born a furry marine animal, then I’d be set for life.
What pisses you off?
Losing that thing I just put down a second ago.
What’s your opinion of the local scene?
I think there’s some really great stuff happening, especially now that it feels like everything is gathering a bit of momentum.
