I find joy in my clay art as it reflects my thoughts and experiences, and I take pride in bringing whimsy to life.

Currently, my favorite type of art is clay. I've had the pleasure of working with paper clay, polymer clay, and traditional clay. I've explored and learned about many different forms of art, so choosing a favorite has been a bit challenging.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from everything I observe around me. I have curated many Pinterest boards filled with inspiration, always respecting original artwork and avoiding copying anyone's art. I often see or feel something that sparks a response within me, and I then create based on those feelings and impressions, allowing my emotions to guide my artistic expression.
What would you do with $25,000?A sum of $25,000 would be very helpful for me. I recently went on short-term disability at work due to health challenges, and this support would allow me to pay off my car and get all my bills current. It would also provide much-needed peace of mind, help me afford enough food, and with the $700 monthly payment I wouldn't have to cover, I could finally afford to buy more art supplies.
