I create because I adore the smiles people get when receiving a gift of my work, something that imagination made turned real.

My favorite type of art to create is art that reflects themes of nature, the impact of humanity on nature, and other realistic images such as portraits. I prefer creating realistic oil and acrylic paintings.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration all throughout my life and society, as well as history. I have a deep interest in classical art, realistic portraiture and political art that you don’t always recognize as political at first glance. My friends and family also brings me great inspiration with their stories, and often share images of trips they’ve taken. I have not been many places and wish to explore the world to seek more information and expand the horizon of what i might create in the future.
What would you do with $25,000?If I actually received $25,000 I would try to move as smartly as I can with it. First I would invest a large portion of it into something long term to use to pay off any debt leftover from school, second I would assist my family in many ways, and third I would invest it into my art and building a social media platform and making connections to further my abilities as an artist.
