Art is my way of being alive. Through it I reflect on human experience, bring light into the world, and find my people.

I see art in everything I do. Whether it’s creating mixed media pieces, collages, or paintings, developing concepts for events, or producing visual narratives through AI and video - it’s all part of one continuous artistic process.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in observation. I naturally think across multiple dimensions: looking at history, understanding the present, and imagining future possibilities. I’m inspired by the world as a whole: cultural shifts, human behavior, and my own lived experience. There’s also a deep sense of gratitude in my practice - simply being alive on this planet and translating that awareness into visual form.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest it directly into my artistic growth and visibility. This includes setting up a studio in Los Angeles, producing new work, and expanding my materials and production capabilities. I would also invest in promotion and opportunities to present my work on a larger stage - with the goal of exhibiting at major art fairs in New York or Miami
