I create art to express how I see the world, whimsically abstract. It helps me understand myself while simultaneously honoring my creativity

I love creating 2d works and printmaking on wood. I usually start by doodling and create what pops out of my process.
Where do you find inspiration?Most of my inspiration comes from nature and based on the images I see when doodling. In most of my doodles, I allow myself to create something ugly, which inevitably guides me in the direction I seek. It’s a really fun process, as it allows me full creative freedom.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it for my masters degree, where I hope to work in the archives. This work is important when it comes to real information and debunking deepfakes. It would mean supporting future generations and inspiring a better world. With this money, it would also support me as an artist in creating more works of art. To be recognized would create an atmosphere where I will want to do more, and with these funds, only my imagination would act as the limit.
