What is your favorite type of art to create?

Honestly, I’m drawn to creating art that feels emotional and alive, especially where light plays a key role. I love working with acrylic and resin, building layers and texture so the piece slowly reveals itself. I enjoy collage and 3D elements for added depth and immersion. I’m drawn to larger works and mixing traditional and experimental techniques to create art that makes people pause and connect.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in my memories and life experiences emotions, relationships, challenges, and growth. Sometimes it’s a simple feeling or a moment I couldn’t put into words, and I translate it into visual form. I’m also inspired by how light changes mood and reveals hidden beauty. For me, it’s personal, turning my experiences into something others can feel and connect with.

What would you do with $25,000?

I come from a challenging household, where art became my way to process and overcome stress. It has always been deeply therapeutic for me. With $25,000, I would produce a series of thoughtfully designed coloring books for both children and adults, aimed at reducing stress and supporting emotional well-being. The funding would ensure high-quality production and broader distribution, allowing more people to experience art as a tool for healing and inner balance.
