I create on a spiritual ground from confusion. Illusion becomes bridged, trusting my instinct over delusion, as truth reveals itself within.

I’m most connected to the work that creates itself through me paintings rooted in feeling, spirit, and memory. I follow energy more than structure, letting forms and presences emerge as they’re meant to be seen.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from within my emotions, my thoughts, and the things I don’t always have words for. I’m also deeply inspired by ancestry and spiritual energy, especially the presence of forces that feel bigger than me but still personal.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use $25,000 to establish a community centered art space by acquiring land for sculpture and creating an open studio environment. The intention is to make art more accessible providing space, materials, and inspiration for others while also expanding my practice into larger, more immersive work.
