It feels good to create art. When I'm focusing on taking and editing pictures, I feel at peace or sometimes even excited.

I enjoy all types of art but I find joy in capturing the many forms of artwork that exist in every day life, people, and nature around us- using photography.
Where do you find inspiration?I find a lot of inspiration from other artists I follow on social media. So many people out there are talented and unique and it's just beautiful. I like seeing so many people expressing themselves in different ways, because it helps me feel safe to express myself too. I am also inspired by the beauty and wonder of nature. Mother Nature is definitely my favorite artist! I feel like when I take a picture, no matter how good a shot it is, it never does the real thing justice. I love to try though.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to invest in photography equipment (most of my photos were taken with a Google pixel 6) like a camera and a way to sell prints. I would also probably use it to help get a new car.
