Where were you born?

Waterbury, Connecticut. Raised in Wolcott. On the playground is where I spent most of my days.

Why did you name your website Anxiously Abstract?

After being diagnosed with anxiety and depression due to PTSD... painting is the thing that best helps me get through my anxiety.

Who are your inspirations?

Bob Ross. I love his Happy Trees and when he would 'beat the devil' out of his paintbrush. My brother is also my biggest muse. He has inspired many of my paintings.

Did you go to school for Art?

No, I am self-taught.

Why not get a degree in Art?

I paint the way I feel. I think school would somehow hinder that. My paintings are pure, raw emotion. No professor can tell me how I feel.
