Who is one of your favorite local artists or musicians?
Too many to mention, but I love all the jewelry at JSD!
What is a favorite local spot?
You can find Jeff and I at JWs at least once a week.
Do you have a favorite smell?
I love the smell of oil paint, but also the smell of milkweed blooming in the summer.
What inspires you?
Nature and color are the primary inspirations for my work.
What are some of your favorite mainstream musical artists?
I'm currently enjoying Stevie Nicks and Trevor Hall but also love Dawes!
Your favorite bite?
Popcorn popped on the stove with salt & butter...brings back memories of family movie nights.
If you were thrown into a teaching position at Grand Haven High School, what would you teach our 14-18 year olds, given free rein?
I would teach a sewing class where we upcycle clothing into unique wearable and sculptural pieces of art. I loved sewing in high school and would have loved a class like that.
Thank you for sharing a glimpse of yourself and your amazing art!
