I create art as therapy and escape. It's a way to process emotion, quiet the noise, and turn what I feel into something physical.

I love creating work that I genuinely get excited about, the kind of art I go to museums and galleries to experience. Work that feels alive, physical, and inspiring.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everything, art, architecture, movies, music, my upbringing, and my travels. I process my specific life experiences, and that’s what drives my work.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest it directly into my studio practice, materials, tools, and expanding the scale of my work. It would allow me to dedicate more time to creating, take greater risks, and develop a stronger, more cohesive body of work for exhibition, and potentially secure a space to present the work in a dedicated show.
