What is your favorite type of art to create?

I love creating realist art with color! I use color pencil, oil pastel, and also sketch black and white. I love doing projects for my loved ones and diving into a big project. My Dad has collected Spider-Man my whole life and we do drawing prompts. In middle school he made a lot of prints of one of my self portraits and it was my very first big project! My Dad made a card game out of an old art practice we utilized for our imagination called “Family Faces”. Thought it was always a special time.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find my family and friends who tell me that I have a gift from God who motivate me. I don’t ever have resources to do art full time or focus on art as a full time option. Although I would love to do that and sometime do a mural, in my lifetime. I think doing art for people who love and respect quality work help me continue to create! Thinking about the card game Dad made out of an old drawing practice was so amazing and I think doing something like that for people of all ages would be great.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would go to school for art, I would pay off my debt. I would do so much good to help my choice of charity. My family loves and supports my works of art, with $25,000 I could create more, I could start a journey towards learning what is possible. I have had family working in nursing homes and also youth groups in churches can benefit from practicing art and using our left side of the brain! Creativity is my best quality!
