When did you create your first piece? I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember and painting since I was 17, so it’s hard to say what would count as my first piece. The first thing I made that I’m still really happy with and would show publicly is a little diptych I made in 2006 called “The Willful Suspension of Disbelief”.
Do you have a favorite? It’s hard to choose just one, but “Little Lamb” has always been close to my heart. I spent a lot of time in my early twenties experimenting with different styles and mediums before settling into the mode I work in now. I didn’t realize it at the time but I was pretty confused as to what kind of artist I wanted to be and what kind of art I wanted to make. When I finished “Little Lamb” I felt like I had finally found what I was looking for. I think I really hit my stride with that painting.
Or, one you are most proud of? Again, it’s hard to single out just one. “Cowboys and Indians” is one I finished recently that I think is particularly good.
