I love creating bold, in-your-face, thought-provoking work that challenges perspectives and sparks conversation. Much of my inspiration comes from exploring the tension between humans and humanity — the contrast between who we are as individuals and what we become collectively. I’m fascinated by our contradictions: kindness and cruelty, connection and division, beauty and absurdity.

I find inspiration in the many layers of humanity, the beauty and the flaws, the positive and the negative. I’m drawn to the satirical, the sarcastic, the humorous, and the uncomfortable truths that make people stop and think. Much of my work is inspired by human nature itself: our emotions, contradictions, relationships, and the strange ways we connect with one another. I love creating pieces that are thought-provoking and sometimes provocative, blending whimsy and human honesty.

With $25,000, I would put it toward creating a small art gallery, children’s book pop-up, and café — a creative space where art, storytelling, and community come together. I imagine a welcoming place filled with original artwork, whimsical children’s books, cozy reading corners, and inspiring events for both children and adults. More than just a shop, it would be a space for imagination, conversation, and connection.
