If you weren’t an artist, what would you be?
I would be an environmental biologist.

Robert Motherwell, just because.

If you could plan your last meal, what would it be?
I would start with dessert of vanilla ice cream and raspberries and finish with a sweet potato, thinly sliced chicken breast, a bit of goat cheese and a few sprigs of broccoli.

If you would live anywhere but here, would you live and why?
Park City, Utah, because it’s got everything I want except my friends.

If you were a piece of fruit or a vegetable, what would you be?
A sun kissed raspberry right off the vine because it’s just so yummy!
