As a person with a hidden disability, Art anchors me and It has ever since I picked up a pencil as a toddler. I create every day nonstop!!!!

I love drawing and integrating the female form in my art with bold striking colors that pulls the viewer into my creations. I graduated with a disability and came away with a BFA in 2015 and a MFA in 2023. I create large colorful pieces everyday without fail. I create a splash of Cyberpunk, Fantasy, Sci-Fi and futuristic pieces. These genre's inspire me to create every day and I do not see stop sign anywhere in my future!
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration through the female human form. I love creating strong, independent, intelligent, goddesses that are at the center of the universe and who, I might add, are even creating their own universes. I also find inspiration from other artists work as far as technique and pallet choices. Also even walking around in the wild is inspirational as well. the fresh air and the environment(s) I travel through daily are inspirational too.
What would you do with $25,000?I hope this doesn't get lost as I have answered before. No glitches people! ; I would pay off my bills first off. Look into purchasing a home so my daughter can have someplace safe to visit when she comes over and I will have a studio to work in as I am working out of the living room in my 1 bedroom apartment with high rent. I would also invest in a better wheelchair for my partner who suffers from a number of ailments. Also gift my daughter to her hearts content! Save the rest for a rainy day!
