It is the most self-satisfying job in the world, I create an idea and I see it instantly. I love to take a clean canvas and add so much beauty/light and some contradiction. Life is always not black and white. But finding the one true image, that makes you feel so alive and gets you up and motivated for the next day, that's worth every breath you take."
