My favorite art is creative dog grooming because every dog becomes a living canvas with its own personality. I love blending color, shape, emotion, and gentle care to help animals feel safe and beautiful. I also enjoy painting and drawing, but grooming became the perfect combination of art and compassion for me. Every wagging tail feels like a masterpiece created through trust, creativity, and connection.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in God’s beautiful creation: animals, people, color, and connection. My name is Genesis, meaning beginning of creation, and I’ve always felt called to create and bring love into the world. Since I was 15, I’ve worked as a caregiver for seniors and later with children with autism as a behavioral technician. Those experiences taught me patience, compassion, and that communication exists beyond words, which I now carry into my grooming and art.
What would you do with $25,000?My dream is to grow Wiggle Butts Pups into a peaceful, creative space where both groomers and pets feel safe, respected, and cared for. I want to help create healthier grooming environments, mentor groomers who feel burned out or pressured, and eventually open an animal sanctuary to help neglected pets heal through patience and love. This opportunity would help me continue creating art that spreads happiness, compassion, and connection.
