My favorite art material to work with is charcoal stick because it’s so easy to blend. The effect I like most in art is bright colors – not too many, but some bright colors to make the artwork fun. I get inspired by things that we do during the day, like things I might see while I’m kayaking, or maybe something I see someone do that I want to try myself. My projects only take a couple hours or days. I like to get things done. When people call me an artist, I like it, but if I agree with them, it kinda feels like I’m bragging. When I’m not making artwork, I like swimming and playing with my cat.
