Whatever challenges me and whatever I find beautiful mostly. My favorite type if I had to say is my culture, black culture and the culture of the city of New Orleans. I'm inspired by and love to paint the beautiful, strong women in my life. I do portraits of them often because I like to showcase the softness and strength in them.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in becoming better in my craft. I also find inspiration in seeing other great works of art by other phenomenal artists. I feel drawn to the challenge of climbing higher. I'm inspired by where I'm from because I want to be an inspiration to young creators out there that you can make it regardless of your circumstances.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the money to help buy a home for me and my children and find an actual studio to work out of. Also to help my children to go to college.
