What is your favorite type of art to create?

My favorite art to create are meaningful pieces , custom portraits of loved ones who have passed away with their living relatives or family they never got to meet! But I also love painting beautiful old catholic churches but each piece I make , I put my heart n soul into! I love what I do!

Where do you find inspiration?

My schizophrenia is what propelled my art, but I find inspiration in everything around me...I love nature and u love people watching!

What would you do with $25,000?

The money would be a life changer for me! We have struggled alot this year, but my main goal is to turn my buisness into what I envision it to be..my studio is very small but it's full of love and art, so investing in my buisness could change my life! Thank u so much for the opportunity!
