I'm schizophrenic, my mom taught me art before she died and I continued creating as an outlet. Went to college for art and sharing it.

A friend once said my schizophrenia gives me multiple artist in my mind and body. I decided to believe that. Having multiple styles in the realm of abstract, French impressionism, anime, figure & surrealism. I also enjoy creating sky's and universe's. I create from visions or my dreams. Its a release at times. I really love live painting whether acrylic or oil. I value the traditional ways of art and create my own works best i can.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration from my vietnam veteran father who showed me anime and comics growing up. I continue to create after my grandmother, and both parents passed away because i would like to leave this world with art made from my soul. Creating works having schizophrenia and anxiety allows me to express my feelings, desires, or visions in a healthy manner. I encourage others to do the same.
What would you do with $25,000?I would put a down payment on a home and focus on getting art more public/galleries etc. as well as release an invention i made and get it patented.
