I create art full time as it makes me feel like a whole person, I suffer from ptsd, anxiety, and depression. When I’m making my art I fly.

My favorite art to create would be my oddities acrylic paintings on shou sugi ban wood plagues, it creates so much depth and detail I just have the most fun making those paintings, I also don’t fear from bigger paintings I love a large wood panel.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration truly comes from music I listen to the books I read and the amazing people I have in my circle. Others art is a huge part of that inspiration, I find art to be so beautiful I even get my tattoos done by artists I have found in my circle that truly make art I want to carry on my body forever. It’s all inspiring you can see it everywhere, especially when the weathers nice and the windows are open.
What would you do with $25,000?I would take this money and continue to do what I do, help spread the happiness open a cafe that has a gallery wall for local artists to display and sell their work, just bring it all back around. To sharing and helping people that were just like me in the beginning.
