Do you listen to music while you work? I listen to Simon & Garfunkel, Sigur Rós, Explosions In The Sky, The Flaming Lips, Devendra Banhart, Cat Power, Andrew Bird, and Beirut.

How do you listen? From my computer.

Do you have any favorite music websites/providers? I went through a Pandora phase, but now I can’t seem to log on anymore—but when I did. it turned me on to old Hawaiian folk music

Does music influence your work? I think music helps me from not over-thinking my work—it helps me relax. I used to listen to more melancholy music that put me in a more somber mood—I had to change my soundtrack because I found the music was influencing was my work.

Where do you find music recommendations? Who influences your musical taste? My dad was my first to influence my musical taste—he had all the great 60′s music lying around. Now my fiancé is a big influence—he seems to know so many different types of music.

If your work was a song or a musician, what or who would it be? This is a hard question because I have many different styles of art making. I would not want to limit myself to one song or one musician. Sometimes I feel more like Simon & Garfunkel, and other times I feel more like The Flaming Lips.
