Through creating art, I allow the emotional tide, wander, and root into form, revealing expressions as purposeful magic that helps me rise.

Where do you find inspiration?I don’t find myself making art for decoration. I create art to prove — to myself — and others — that expression is a survival tool, a meaning‑maker, a way of turning intensity into something that can be held, witnessed, and shared. Moments of bliss, times that can be overwhelming, but most importantly through transformation, & with these intensities I then express myself through creating art that feels authentically my own, revealing that expression has purposeful magic that helps me rise.
What would you do with $25,000?Through the tides, storms, and luminous thresholds that shape my work, i would continue to create. While building a small community that would allow those to use expression as a grounding, purposeful act. Although, i would also enjoy creating dedicated time to expand and explore.
