I create art as a way to translate what I see and dream, because words can fail to describe what I want to capture.

I love creating works with storytelling, magic, and dreams as my main subject matters, with sprinklings of circus arts and theater looming throughout my work as an homage to when I used to perform Static Trapeze and Aerial Hoop. My work as of late has been an experimentation of art made of dried slime, and I have personally been studying the ways to manipulate it into my art.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration everywhere. In my day to day life, sometimes I will notice a small detail, like a half eaten leaf with a sour gummy worm next to it, and it starts the ideas of what I could do to capture that moment to share the moment with others.
What would you do with $25,000?With 25,000 dollars, I would be able to help my family in this time where the job market is unforgiving. As well, it could help me cover the costs of welding school, so I can pursue what I love, and one day be able to work in film with my art for prop making, which is my dream job.
