I love to create art to be able to showcase my thoughts and learn more of my culture. It has made more sense to me this way!

Oil paintings of nature. Showing the natural colors of the world, the emphasis, the beauty, the amount of energy that is shown is exemplary and a good way to demonstrate how much there is to this wonderful world. I understand that many may not see beauty in a gray mourning dove, but I see it- and trust me, it takes much to see past just the gray.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from my own roots. I have had a difficult time digging through the past due to centuries of knowledge being lost. Searching from books and exploring my own photos, I see the way it all inspires me. Nature has also been a huge influence to my art. Finding beauty, even in the most dullest areas, has been a gift. I know that it may seem like a cliche, but to me, life is a gift that comes naturally from our earth and that deserves to be placed into our art.
What would you do with $25,000?What I would do with the money is take the opportunity and invest into my art. Buying the necessary supplies, applying to exhibit, and finishing up my design degree. Being an artist is difficult but this money would truly benefit my future dearly.
