1. How would you describe your work in three words?
Art Artifice Land.
2. Who is your creative role model?
I don’t really have a “creative” role model per say, but I received my work ethic from my mother and father. They work until a job is done, no matter what that meant.
3. If you had an extra hour each day what would you do with it?
Exercise by walking.
There is really no place that inspires me more than another. All places are really inspiring … it is more a matter of myself being open to being inspired or not.
5. If you could do a different job for a day what would it be and why?
I think I would like to be a train conductor in Hungary or some place like that. I love moving over land.
6. What is your favorite homemade gift to give?
I make letterpress cards for people at times. I’m not much of a gift giver. My partner Jennifer is really good at that kind of thing. So, I kind of leave it to her.
7. What is your favorite object in your home?
I really don’t have a single favorite object. I really enjoy my home as a whole, because that is something that can not be replaced. Objects are replaceable. I do enjoy scooping coffee out of my beehive jars …
8. What is the best advice you’ve ever received?
“Most artists put tall grass in front of the feet and mittens on the hands, because they can’t draw them. Draw your hands over and over again.” My high school mentor Tom Roost.
9. What websites do you use for inspiration?
I don’t really view websites for inspiration on my work. I mostly look to the natural world or read books for that. But I do like to view some blogs on a regular basis. Like TED Talks, But Does It Float, Rodale, Arch Daily, MPR…
10. When do you consider a piece of your work complete?
When I can watch it like people watch TV.
