I use art as therapy, when I’m feeling a certain way, and I can express it, art makes it easier to do it. Paintings, pictures, poems, etc.

Photography and abstract painting are my go to
Where do you find inspiration?When it comes to paintings, I always rely on memories and how they made me feel, that goes for past and present. With photography is different, I usually look for things that are not supposed to be there. An empty bench on a crowded park, a dead tree in the middle of a forest, an old abandoned building in an up and coming neighborhood.
What would you do with $25,000?Invested on a gallery in my hometown, a place that gives artists a chance to display their work.
