1. Who is your biggest artistic inspiration?
That’s a lot for one person too be credited with, But I would say, living has been pretty good source material so far.

2. Favorite Ithaca bookstore?
Ithaca actually has a lot of great used bookstores, and an awesome book fair twice a year; but I would say for art & photography books, either The Strand or St. Marks Books in NYC.

3. Where is the best place to view art in Ithaca?
Either the Cornell Museum (The Johnson) or the Ithaca College gallery.

4. If you could hang with any famous artist, who would it be and why?
Well, this often changes depending on mood, I would’ve really liked to meet the filmmaker, Krzysztof Kieslowski, but he passed away 11 years ago. Maybe Gabriel Orozco or Collier Schorr.
