I love advocating mental health through my art. To me, art is one of the most therapeutic things you can do

My favorite type of art to create is art that contains a lot of symbolism and detail. I love the idea of art making you feel a certain way. Self interpretation is one of the best things about creating because it allows you to think beyond literal analysis and search for a deeper and more personal connection.
Where do you find inspiration?I have always loved art since a very young age and have practiced and explored different mediums for over 20 years. I have several chronic disorders that have disabled me permanently and painting is becoming harder as the years go on. So, I'm here to try to introduce my art to the world before I’m no longer able to. Every art piece I do, I put myself into whole heartedly and I've always had an ambition to inspire as many people as I can. A lot of my inspiration is focused around mental health.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to find medical help that I need to accommodate my health conditions. I would also invest in advocating the importance of art and mental health.
