What made yall want to start Painting?
Painting has always come as a natural instinct for me. I have never been good at expressing myself verbally, so painting is my form of communication.

When Did You Start Making Art?
I started making art at the age of 4. I’ve always drawn pictures for my family, and doodled all over every notebook I’ve ever owned.

Who or What is your biggest influences?
My biggest influence is Mother Nature. Every sunrise and sunset is new palette for me. Most of my creative energy sparks when I am in the presence of trees, rivers and the Sun. As long as I am outside, I am ever-inspired.

What is your Ultimate Goal?
My ultimate goal is to nourish the youth. My movement is CREARTIVITY which stands for “Create Relative Energy Amongst Real Talented Indi-Viduals In Today’s Youth”. CREARTIVITY is the ideology that when energy is passed from artist to artist, and channeled towards the nourishment of our youth, we have the power to recreate the world around us.

Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
In 5 years I will be in a jungle or savanna somewhere in Africa. My passion is traveling the world, so I am spending my life doing so.

What would you say to any other aspiring artist?
You were created in light of Love so spread love through your creations.
