Ever since I was a kid I tried capturing moments on whatever I could. That trait has stuck with me ever since and I’ve done so all over.

My favorite type of art to create has got to be photography. The ability to freeze time and select specific moments and memories to frame just fascinates me.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration all around. Whether I’m taking a walk through my neighborhood or scrolling on social media. I do my best to stay inspired and keep pushing my work forward to the best of my ability.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use part of it to purchase a new camera lens and then I would take a trip to Iceland. That has been my dream location to photograph ever since I first picked up a camera.
