I love to create art because if I don’t, I think I’ll die. Painting is fun hard work! Afterward I am the most exhausted, yet fulfilled.

My favorite type of art to create is the weird stuff that needs to come out when I am in pain (be it physical or emotional). I feel it helps my body process the world. Forgive me for being cliche and unknowing of what "type" to categorize it under. While I enjoy playing with a plethora of mediums, my favorite type of mediums to create with would be Acrylics on canvas or a sketchbook on the go. I also like to sculpt monster mushroom magnets in between paintings.
Where do you find inspiration?Like most artists, I find inspiration from everywhere. (i.e. Noticing how the light bounces off my hand onto the pillow, watching horror movies, listening to music, reading an art book, bones in the desert, all of my emotions, etc...)
What would you do with $25,000?I would first and foremost pay off some small debts that have accrued from the series of unfortunate events of last year. Then put some towards my education. I would also put money aside for the upcoming art show entrance fees and stock up on supplies.
