What is your favorite type of art to create?

I create mixed media visual art that blends emotion, texture, and symbolism. Acrylic paint is my primary medium, often expressed through a rose aesthetic and monochrome palettes with hints of gold and silver. My work is rooted in lived experience, grief, injustice, healing, resilience, and transformation. I’m drawn to layered pieces where every element holds intention and meaning, creating work that resonates on a deeper human level.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in lived experience, grief, love, injustice, healing, and growth. My father’s memory is at the core of my work and continues to guide my purpose. I’m inspired by human emotion, quiet moments, and the strength it takes to rebuild. I also draw from rose gardens and my journey of leaving my corporate career to reconnect with my art embracing, creating, and growing with intention.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would invest in expanding my practice and building BeGalleria into a platform that connects art, healing, and community. This includes securing a studio space, acquiring high quality materials, and creating collections for exhibition. I support my family, and this would help me build stability, working towards a secure home for my mother and siblings, while sharing my work to inspire others navigating grief and rebuilding.
