q)How long have you been showing your work for? Did you have a “big break?”
a)I am a new to the art world as I started creating art in 2010 when I began making assembled art sculptures. I was surprised how quickly they sold and the attention that they got. The Altered Antique Plates came shortly thereafter and have been received by the public quit quickly. The Altered Antique Plates have definitely provided me with both the financial means and the confidence to now say that I am an artist
q)What are some things that have inspired you?
a)I am totally inspired by pop culture, nature, animals and a bit of the dark side
q)What have you been working on recently?

a)I love working with any materials that are found, old or broken. I have also been making some giant agate "stained glass" pieces for my house - without the glass and just with the colorful agate stones, I love the way they look in the light.
q)What advice do you have for artists looking to show their work?
a)Just get you stuff out there, the internet is amazing and people from everywhere can find you
