I have so many ideas, stories and thoughts that I want to share. The best way to do so is through art, but as creatively as possible.

My favorite type of art to create is anything within the moment. Right now I am enjoying creating amigurumi. Next month might be something new.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration all around and within me. Whether it be social media, nature or pure imagination, it's not hard for me to have a spark of inspiration.
What would you do with $25,000?I want to split the 10K with my family and give the rest to small artists I follow on IG. Why? Because being a small artist myself, I understand how frustrating it can be to try and make any income in an industry that will no longer need you. AI and scammers are the bane of our existence. We artists need to support one another.
