Starting out as an artist: “I’ve been doing art for 19 years. I went to an art magnet high school and I continued to pursue it after graduation.

Thoughts on Art Basel: “It’s a cool crowd here. This is my first year at Art Basel so I’m feeling things out.”


How to get the younger generation involved in art: “I think we have to teach the younger generation about true art. The visuals will always pull them in, but we have to teach the facts and meanings behind certain work.”
