I use art as a way to express emotions that are difficult to put in words, and to show gratitude, growth, and vulnerability.

I love creating emotional abstract art. I use a mixture of mediums, but typically include watercolor, gouache or acrylic, and marker or pen. While my pieces aren't inherently complicated, they carry significant emotional meaning, each piece telling a different story.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration for my art is myself. As a person with significant emotional trauma, health issues, and more, I use my own struggles to fuel my art pieces. Art is an outlet for me, a way to express words that I can't verbalize.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would be able to help my family financially, especially my younger sister, as we struggle being a lower class family. I would also get a car, and finally be able to start an apprenticeship tattooing. I would love to put money in savings, and hopefully buy more art supplies, help out with daily expenses for my family, etc. $25,000 could change my life.
