When did you begin creating art?
I have been creating art since I was a kid. It’s always been a space for me to just explore and experiment.
What is your favorite medium?
My ALL-TIME favorite is oil pastels, but I’m currently in a huge “arts and crafts” kick, so anything with cardboard, tissue paper, construction paper and hot glue.
Where do you find inspiration?
My inspiration mostly come from a necessity to make something, I have 3 school aged kids and with that comes lots of projects. I love any opportunity to learn something new, so I step into any creative/decorative roll that comes up.
What motivates you to create?
My kids are a major motivation for me, they have such creative minds and I love having something we can share.
How do you think art impacts society?
Art gives people a way to express themselves without words.
What is your inspiration behind this piece?
My inspiration behind this piece is my relationship with my bathroom scale, I used to allow it to dictate my life and allowed the number it reflected to make or ruin my day. I wanted to show the thoughts I wish I had coming out of the scale. Things I wish I had said or thought. And I made it a piñatas because what’s more fun than a piñata?
