I am constantly pulling inspiration from many different forms of art,music and nature. One of my main sources for inspiration comes from my close friends, family and peers. it seems that anytime i think i have come up with something new i find out a week later that my friends had come up with the same idea around the same time. Glass to me is a constantly changing medium that is all about community and sharing. When i make a piece it is usually many inspirations culminating together. The music i am listening to, Art i last saw, and the people i am around. While i have a keen sense of the style i like to see in my pieces i am always influenced greatly by my surroundings.
Skateboarding also plays a huge part in my inspiration. being a skater before i was working with glass i learned how to get into a flow, letting my feelings guide me forward. When i work with glass i seem to find myself in the same flow. For me glass and skating balance each other and keep things fresh in my life.
I am always pushing forward with new ideas and concepts. weather it be a new tool or a workspace idea to improve flow or a concept for a piece i constantly look for ways to improve my Art. In the future i see collaborations becoming more important. Together we can create more amazing pieces than ever before.
