14. What artists, past or present, inspire your work?
So many! First ones that come to mind are Wayne Thiebaud, Carolyn Gavin, and Sophie Blackall, but Iʼm definitely forgetting some.
15. If you had to choose a spirit animal what would it be and why?
A hummingbird! I have a very high, upbeat energy and I also have a crazy sweet tooth.
16. When was the last time you laughed really hard and why?
Going through the Touch Tunnel at Liberty Science Center. Itʼs a completely blacked-out tunnel maze that you have to crawl through only using your sense of touch. My friends and I were tipsy and, needless to say, couldn’t breathe from laughing.
17. How would you spend your dream Saturday?
Curled up on the couch with my dog and an engrossing book. Ice cream would be involved later.
18. If you weren’t allowed to work for 12 months, what would you do?
I would travel! But I would hate not working. Would sketching count as work? I think the rules would need to be broken down before I made any hasty decisions.
19. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
Northern Italy – somewhere with some Call Me By Your Name vibes.
20. Was this questionnaire too long?
I averaged about a minute a question so I would say no!
