Where do you find inspiration?The love someone has for a loved one. Knowing how they have touched a life inspires me to really bring out the essence of that person or pet. Also, changing of the seasons and nature help inspire me with my creativity in other art projects.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put it toward growing my art business to reach a wider audience so that I can help others heal on their grief journey. It could also help in starting my vision of creating resources or a nonprofit to help those who are struggling emotionally, financially, and logistically after losing a loved one.
