As a 29 year old Stage 4 Cancer Patient, art helps me express the brokenness I feel inside.

I love to paint on the glass of recycled frames. I love to create work that provokes emotion and makes people feel things
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from the grief I have felt in the few short years I have lived on this planet. I find inspiration in the little things in life and try to find broken things and make them beautiful again.
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off some medical debt and use the rest to buy a van to travel in, as I have lived out 3 of the 5 years they have given me with my diagnosis. I want to see as much as I can before my time is up here.
