When I’m creating art, I prefer to use paints. I started off just using acrylic paints, but recently began to shift my attention towards paint pens. I now incorporate both into my pieces.

When looking at inspiration, I view Savannah Jenning’s work. She’s earned a number of social media followers on her account, TrippyDraws. There, she creates psychedelic pieces that usually correlate with space and lots of doodles. I also have a number of works inspired by my friend, Reese Jozokos. She also paints. Some of her work is more space themed, while some is just whatever comes to her mind. 

When I’m creating, I’m usually inspired by my feelings or a specific song. I’ve created a number of paintings inspired by a specific line or two from a song, one of them being my Celestial Girl.
