Travel helped to broaden the mind of this US fantasy artist
Where did you grow up and how has this influenced your art?
I’m an army brat, so grew up all over: Japan, Alabama, Hawaii, Germany, to name a few. This influenced my art in many ways. Primarily just being exposed to so many different cultures expanded my interests, such as anime in Japan and the Gothic history of Germany with its brooding castles and such.
Art was also the friend that I could always turn to when moving around. It not only gave me an outlet, but also as a way to be accepted into a new school. There always seemed to be a group of artistic kids who spoke the same language as me.
