1. What led you to start creating your art/craft?

I have always been in love with the fantasy genre and had a strong interest in drawing, and when I was a young girl decided I wanted to be an illustrator or artist in some form. I was very fortunate to have my family give me a lot of support, encouragement, and send me to art classes. I tried out many painting mediums including both traditional and digital, sculpture and doll making, sewing, and jewelry making but my main focus has been on digital painting. It was in April that I decided to try combining my artwork with jewelry to make wearable art.

2. How did you decide what medium you wanted to work with?

Digital is my favourite medium because I can freely create and experiment without being conscious of how much material I am using. I always have complete control and freedom of my canvas, and I don't see it as a crutch or feel shame in using that freedom.

3. What aspect of creating your art, do you find the most fascinating?

When I have a particularly fun project to work on, or an idea that I really need to bring to life, it is work but sometimes it doesn't feel like it. I can spend hours assembling jewelry pieces or working on a new painting and the time flies by. Though this is definitely not always the case! Sometimes it can be very frustrating, but always worth it in the end because everything is a learning experience.

4. If you had to choose a fruit OR a vegetable, to describe your art, what would you choose, and why?

I would like to say tomato, because beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, but I believe the cherry best represents my work. I love to use reds, and cherries are small but have very feminine flowering trees.

5. If you had to choose one other medium in which to display your “creativity”, what would that be, and why?

I would like to paint full sized in oil someday. There's just a different feeling standing in front of a large painting, and I find the medium very fun to work with.

6. What message, if any, do you want to convey with your art?

I try to tell a story, describe the culture and emotions of a character, or depict a dream-like environment to let the viewer's imagination wander.

7. What advice do you have for other artists?

Be proud when you create something you think is beautiful, be accepting of helpful criticism, treat your customers or clients kindly, and always strive to improve yourself.
