I know all of your art isn’t dark, but some of it is delightfully wicked. Have you always been interested in dark, creepy stuff?
Oh yes absolutely. As a kid, I was really fascinated with any supernatural stuff, ghost stories and hauntings in particular. I guess I still am, haha.
One might assume that you are a horror fan. Have any horror films or books inspired your work? If not, what are some of your favorite scary movies and/or books?
Yes definitely. When I was younger, I was obsessed with horror/monster movies. I remember seeing Alien when I was was very young and that made a big impression on me. One of my newer pieces is inspired by the character of Kane in Poltergeist 2, played by Julian Beck. Not that the movie as a whole was particularly scary, but he was really striking. Much of my creepier artwork is based on things I have seen in my dreams/nightmares.
