Tell us something unique about your process.
I never know exactly how a pixel glass mural will look until installation day, at which point it is going up permanently!
What advice do you have for other artists?
Work hard, be dedicated and professional. Take a shower, show up on time and answer emails. Create your own reality based on your skill level (be realistic), and always push your comfort zone just a little, that's how you innovate and grow, developing your own unique style. And ask yourself every now and then why you make Art.
Anything else you'd like to share?
Stay Positive and do your best. That's all anyone can really ask for.
