Lately, my favorite type of art, is through photography. Photos are much more than just a picture. To me, it captures a moment in time, that can sometimes speak louder than words. Beauty and wonder is everywhere, even in the smallest details. I especially love photos of nature, that capture just a fraction of its beauty.
Where do you find inspiration?Nature, love and freedom inspire me. As the wind blows whilst you stand in a field with a beautiful sky above and the warm sun shining, that to me is inspiration. Basking in the presence of your loved ones, the warmth of brings is like sunshine for the soul. To feel, to express and to acknowledge, and be present in the moment.
What would you do with $25,000?I would love to help my parents. To thank them for all they’ve done in my and my siblings life. They’ve helped me through hard health journeys and they’ve taught me what true love is, that in its self is a priceless form of art, in which I am eternally grateful for. I also would like to donate a portion to the Ronald McDonald foundation, that helps thousands of families. I myself have stayed for a period of time, truly an amazing organization.
