I don’t necessarily have a favorite type of art to create. I like to keep pushing myself to try new things. I’m especially drawn to mixed media to create representational pieces, and working with bright colors and textures really excites me. Getting to create and express myself is so special to me, whatever it is.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from the natural world and my environment. I am heavily influenced by my inner child to create art that is colorful and bright and brings joy to others.
What would you do with $25,000?Invest in additional ways to market myself and my art to further my art career.
