Art is the one thing that has always made sense. If my words and actions fail me, my art will prevail. Peace and love.

I dabble in all forms of art, but most recently I have discovered a passion for photography. More specifically, I love the art of long exposure and lighting. The versatility of photography draws me in. You can capture an array of emotion in just one image. Additionally, it truly is an art you can practice anywhere life takes you.
Where do you find inspiration?My greatest inspiration comes from expression. I am fascinated by human thoughts, emotions, and actions. I personally experience emotion on an extraordinarily deep level. I filter that emotion into my art. Furthermore, I am inspired by the understanding others have of my work. If my audience relates to and finds comfort in the feelings I portray, I have done my part.
What would you do with $25,000?I am an entrepreneur at heart, and my greatest dream is to own a cafe and venue. I want people to gather in a beautiful place of my creation to celebrate life’s greatest moments. That dream starts with a mobile coffee trailer. On top of completing my education I have been working primarily 30+ hours a week to support my future business. $25,000 would make that dream a reality.
