Self-taught, I create to explore my emotions, turning life experiences into color, form, and meaning on canvas.

My practice is not confined to a single discipline. I create across forms because no one medium fully captures the range of ideas I want to express. This freedom allows my work to evolve organically, guided by experimentation and instinct rather than limitation. The process itself becomes part of the meaning—layered, exploratory, and open-ended.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration comes from within—my soul speaks to me in quiet moments. Each brushstroke is a deep breath, a release, a way of letting go. I’m guided by emotion, memory, and the unseen layers of experience, translating what I feel into color and form. Life itself—its highs, lows, and in-betweens—feeds my creativity, allowing me to create work that is both personal and reflective of something greater.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would establish my LLC and secure a safe, stable space where I can create freely, away from the chaos of my past. I would invest in publishing my books—now a growing series of three—and building my creative brand. This support would give me the freedom to fully explore my imagination, expand my work, and bring my vision to life with clarity, focus, and purpose.
