What is your favorite type of art to create?

Painting is my favorite medium to work with, but I can't always afford painting supplies. So, I adjust my process to where I can always be working on something. This includes drawings and other pieces on paper. By continuously working, I can continuously develop my process. Now, my drawing methods are starting to influence my paintings. This continuous practice allows me to maintain a strong creative state of mind when creating. Some of my best work comes from when I am deep in the flow.

Where do you find inspiration?

I am inspired by my perspective of the world around me. My work tends to suggest themes of consciousness and energy. By staying true to myself when I create, I demonstrate my personal perspective on the subject. I am inspired by quantum physics, particularly the double slit experiment, which demonstrates that our consciousness's directly influence the reality that manifests before us. I think the stage of evolution humanity is in is about consciousness.

What would you do with $25,000?

I dream of having a big studio to work in and lots of supplies. $25,000 won't get me that, but if I were to receive $25,000 I would continue working from my current studio, and I would invest in more painting supplies. I would also like to participate in exhibitions across the country, and I would likely use some of the money to fund exhibition expenses.
