What types of art do you like to consume?
I like to consume contemporary art. For example, one of my favorite artists is Kehinde Wiley. His particular subject’s meaning intrigues me to give my own artwork another meaning.
How do you make your living?
I make my living by selling my artwork as home decors. In addition, I host a podcast called Art Talks Sunday that gives other artists a platform to display their talent with my audiences.
What inspires you?
Spending time with friends and family members inspires me to create artwork. In addition, taking a walk at a botanical garden enjoying nature is another source of inspiration.
What are you besides an artist?
I’m a family person, a role model to the world. I’m fulfilling my purpose by being an motivational speaker, inspiring the youth, and mentoring my peers.
