I have been creating art since I was a child, helps me heal, has helped me survive and express myself in ways I could not otherwise.

My favorite type of art to create is abstract. Aside from singing, composing and writing music under the name ANEW Dawn, I love bold, yet formed. I love to paint my expressions, my feelings, my healing. Bold colors, animals, hands, nature but abstract. Spiritual and centered. I am also a photographer and have a shoe brand and shoe designer.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from within. It is a yearning like no other. I need to paint, I need to paint for healing. It is more than art to me, it is survival. As a child of agent orange 2nd generation, 50 surgeries in 49 years it is what help drives me to continue, to create, in hopes it may heal others too.
What would you do with $25,000?I would reinvest into my art. I would fix my in-home studio and repair instruments, repair my car to keep helping others, keep my business running, I would finish my documentary and playwrights, keep maintenance on my company website, use to sing at venue, get prototypes of my designs, apply for grants.
