I paint to feel. I paint to process. I paint to heal. I paint to give. I paint to smile. I paint because if I don’t, I could not exist.

My favorite type of art has to be pet portraits. It’s like looking through a tiny window into someone’s heart. I always ask to see your favorite photo of your pet(s) and to know why it’s your favorite so that I can capture all the love and joy!
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration all around me! Sometimes I’ll see an item or I’ll smell a smell and I’m inspired! A lot of my personal art comes from my childhood experiences and my poetry!
What would you do with $25,000?I’ve been saving up to build a little studio on my property! This would definitely help me get that done and also stock it up!!! I also have goals to have equipment to photograph my art for prints so this would be so helpful!
