My art is an extension of myself, it's a form of love that I can share with everyone, and leave a positive impact on those it reaches.

I'm a multidisciplinary artist; Writing-Performance-Visual. I love creating literary, visual, and cinematic art that evokes emotion, wonder, nostalgia, and human connection. Through storytelling, film, illustration, and painting, I hope to create timeless worlds people love to visit and revisit and each time they do, a door of possibility opens for them..
Where do you find inspiration?It's a mysterious invisible force, that arrives quietly and unexpectedly. I find it in nature, music, memory, human emotion, faith, beauty, and fleeting moments that stir something deep within me. It's powerful but gentle, it feels like being in love. Creating art feels less like a decision and more like responding to an invisible call to create something heartfelt and alive.
What would you do with $25,000?After thinking on it and how it would best serve and honor the award, I would invest it into future creative projects — literature, film, and visual storytelling — with the hope of creating more meaningful work that inspires, comforts, and connects people.”
