The art that I love the most is poetry. I have no control when it happens and I enter a poem realm for a moment. And when I’m out of it, it feels like I just went through a mini journey that made life make more sense. As if I get a moment of wisdom while viewing it though a poets lens. Choosing one thing isn’t in my nature. I enjoying drawing and learn to really see things while doing it. Especially drawing hands. You can tell someone’s life based on their hands. Creation that creates. Stories.
Where do you find inspiration?I love the morning. I love spring. I love late nights and shadows. I love light and warmth. I love the lines on people’s faces.The sounds of music and how music allows you to travel and lyrics to feel. I love holidays, especially Christmas and Halloween. I love being sad and being happy. I love mystery but I love research and knowledge. I love things you can touch that help you keep going. I love the slow life and the moments of peace. Stories. Beauty. And most of all I love the way nature holds
What would you do with $25,000?haven’t fully thought of it. To be quiet frank I just know my first thought if I had that money: I can do art! Survival takes time and effort. rent bills etc you spend majority of the time in a cycle and if I had some cushion to fall into I could dive into my art fully without worries for at least a few months to make up for all that lost time in burnt out mode. I would help those around me do likewise. And hope that I make it in art to do greater things with what’s to come. Its an investment
