Connect What is your favorite type of art to create?

I love creating art centered around animals, often with a surreal, dreamlike touch. I enjoy turning familiar creatures into something a little magical and expressive. I’m also really inspired by nature—its colors, patterns, and quiet moments always find their way into my work. Animals mean a lot to me; they show us empathy and connection without words. I want my art to feel light, playful, and inspiring—something that invites people to slow down, feel, and reconnect with that sense of wonder.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in colors, patterns, and animals—anything that sparks curiosity. I’m also really inspired by nature, from light through leaves to unexpected color combos. A lot comes from my own pets—they’re full of personality and little quirks that always give me ideas. It’s all about observation, nature, and those everyday moments that keep things fun and creative.

What would you do with $25,000?

I’d invest it into savings, my pets, and giving myself more freedom to create. It would bring some stability, so I can spend more time exploring ideas and making art without so much pressure. My pets mean everything to me, so I’d make sure they’re well cared for. I hope that freedom shows in my work and inspires others, bringing a sense of light and hope, especially during darker times.
