So let's get into it!
Q- I met you back in 2014 at an event in a comic book store in downtown Fredericton. If I hadn't, I don't think I would've known that a career in art was an option until much later! Was there anyone for you in your life who introduced you to the idea of an artistic career or who initially got you interested in art, or anyone who you looked up to as a mentor of sorts?
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Q- What was it like for you getting into the artist community? Did you first start getting involved in the community as a kid or an adult?
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Q- Do you find that the art community in Atlantic Canada is different from other places in any specific way, or do you think that it's similar to communities elsewhere? Is there anything that makes it stand out?
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Q- If you could go back in time and give yourself any piece of advice, what would you tell yourself when you were just starting out on your art journey?
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Q- As an artist, what mediums do you find suit your style best? Does it differ depending on what kind of work you're doing?
​
​
​
​
​
​
Q- Do you think it's better to be really good at just a few mediums, or generally ok at many mediums?
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Q- Was there any time you had to work with a medium that was very difficult or frustrating to work with, if so what was it and how was that experience?
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Q- Do you find that your art style differs depending on what kind of art you're making?
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Q- What mediums did you use preferentially when you were starting out on your art journey?
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Q-Lastly; is there any advice you would give to people looking to experiment in different art mediums for the first time?
