I love to create art pieces that mean something to me. People and places that have meaning to me such as important moments in my life. I also love to have the opportunity to create artwork for other people to preserve their important moments and even heal from grief or trauma.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in life moments around me. Everything from a bloom that caught my eye, to family, or a scene that is meaningful. As in writing, my art is inspired by what I know. The people and places that I have seen and experienced throughout my life are what drives my artwork.
What would you do with $25,000?I would love to use funds to help share my art and the joy of creating with the community. Leading all ages to enjoy the process of creativity and the healing it brings would be an honor. I would love to buy supplies for local organizations to promote art in all its forms.
