What is the best advice you can give a new artist?

Just be you. Don’t care what anyone else thinks. Give who YOU are to the world.

What do you love most about this art form?

Besides using a pre-made mold, you’re able to express yourself however you want! It takes patience and organization skills to fully create a piece!

What do you think made you take the leap to sell your artwork?

I wanted to do this for fun, but everyone who saw my artwork encouraged me to sell it.

Favorite thing to make?

I especially love to make space themed pieces out of my own molds!

What helps you work? 

Writing things down before I work, planning what I will do, really helps my work.

What is your biggest challenge with this medium?

I think the biggest challenge is the amount of copying people do. It’s hard to be original sometimes because you’re always having to one up everyone. It’s hard to remember it’s not a competition.

What is the best advice you can give a new artist?

Just be you. Don’t care what anyone else thinks. Give who YOU are to the world.

What do you for fun besides art?

I love to play video games and do outdoorsy things like hiking or paint balling. Especially love to travel!

Who is your favorite artist?

My favorite artist has to be @rogue.resin. She has been such a mastermind at creating earthy themed pieces. I am always in awe of her work!

 I fix planes in the military and study colors as an engineer in the civilian field!
