I am a very introverted human that often shuts down when feelings come into play so my favorite type of art to create is artwork that expresses the trapped words and emotions that I struggle to communicate on a regular basis. My life motto is 'Pain is Real, but so is Hope' and I aim to show that in my artwork. My main goal with my artwork is not just to heal myself but to help others heal too.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature, human experience, past trauma, and music. Stevie Nicks is always on my playlists while I create.
What would you do with $25,000?If I were to win $25,000 I would use it to invest in my business and successfully create and donate custom artwork on household items like blankets and clothing to be donate to children and families effected by the foster care system.
