Painting and scrapbooking. I love making photo albums with a scrapbook style of my loved ones. I also paint as much as possible in my free time.
Where do you find inspiration?I appreciate beauty everywhere I go. I'm grateful to be able to find it in almost anything.
What would you do with $25,000?I would travel and visit family. I would also love to start some sort of art club, like a sharable studio that is a safe space for people to have community and learn from each other. A space for the people to teach some techniques if they wanted to the younger artists also.
