"I'm a musician. I have been since I was nine. I have a lot of styles, but I would say it's mostly aggressive, like metal. I primarily play the guitar. I started playing bass about 7 years ago.

When I was nine, my dad took me to an Eric Clapton concert. His boss had a box, so we had binoculars and everything. We sat up there with ham sandwiches, watching Eric Clapton. I just sat by the balcony with the binoculars and stared at Eric Clapton the whole time. I couldn’t believe how much the whole room ate up everything he was doing. I ate up everything he was doing. So I got a guitar within a month of that. That was very formative for me. I’ve always been very attracted to that heavy, riffy music from the ‘70s and blues-driven music. That definitely informed almost everything about my style.

Before moving to Goshen I was in Austin and there was a ton going on in every single corner of the city. I thought that moving back to Indiana was going to be a loss for me. But I ended up falling in with the Tumbleweed Jumpers and other creatives around town and working in restaurants that are full of creatives around here. I feel like I’m doing double the creative work now. I’m drawing, I’m writing, I’m writing lyrics, I’m writing songs. I work hard on it here. It’s just a small Indiana town and I think there’s something to speak of people who decide to stick around here and what they want to do. People are serious here. I like that!"

"My medium is sketch art, specifically portraits.

"My medium is sketch art, specifically portraits. Right now I’m focusing on a series of Black Lives Matter victims of police brutality. So, realism and emotional. I use micron pens and pencils, graphite. Those are my preferred medium.

I’ve only fairly recently come back to art, and that has been a formative thing for me. I took a long break, focusing on baking instead of my artwork. But it was meaningful for me to come back and focus on something that actually meant something to me, and to have an actual point of view, instead of just “I’m going to randomly draw a flower today.” That never felt poignant to me. Having a point of view was very important. It was a breakthrough for me to a whole different level of art.

One of the reasons I’m here in Goshen is the art community is so strong, and so loving, and just there for each other. It’s really wonderful. I’ve just been blown away constantly by the people who, as soon as I get talking about art, are like, ‘Let’s do this!’ and very passionate about it all. That’s very exciting for me!"
