Creating art has always been an outlet for me. From my darkest thoughts to my loveliest thoughts. It is how I connect with myself and others

I love using charcoal and pencil. I love to get messy and truly express emotions through traditional methods. But poetry and photography are my two other favorites.
Where do you find inspiration?The thoughts I hide from myself or from others are my inspiration. Creating stories I wish I had seen growing up so others can relate & feel less alone. I find inspiration in other people’s art and music.
What would you do with $25,000?I currently live on my own, I have two jobs, two cats, and pursing a master’s degree. It would provide a relief in the summer when I have less hours with the school district. The money would go to my housing security, food, my cats, and my family. I am first generation so I do not have a security blanket to really fall on if anything happens to me.
