Ever since I was a kid, I enjoyed art class and the methods to the madness. I was and still am a fan of surrealism.

Surrealism. I’m an absurdist so I absolutely love creating art that almost seems both uncanny but charming in its own way.
Where do you find inspiration?In people, places and colors and tones. I take notice of people’s faces, eyes to noses and incorporate colors that can evoke personalities or even moods in my art. I love when my work feels unexplainable but understood.
What would you do with $25,000?I’m currently helping my Fiancé with legal fees to avoid his deportation. With the new Administration it’s put a strain financing for lawyer fees. I would like to use it to help us get through this tremendously rough time. Since I’m the sole worker due to legalities of him waiting for his Asylum, also being a graduated film student with school debt fees coming up I figured I’d take a shot and hope to see if my art has a place to be admired.
