I create art because it’s my safe space. It brought me to where I am. Art is there for me when i don’t know where to turn or where to go.

Surrealism with added abstract features. I love adding more colors than the eye can see to everyday life creatures and objects.
Where do you find inspiration?The beauty of life as well as the grotesque. Life can get so ugly at times it becomes beautiful in its own way. Or it could simply be gorgeous as is. I find inspiration from the world around us, good, bad, or both.
What would you do with $25,000?I would go see my family more. I moved to california 3 years ago after college and most of my time goes to work. I would love to go home and see them more often. I would invest the money in somewhere my papa tells me to if he suggests it. I would use it to get more paints and art supplies. If there’s enough left i’ll try to use it for my student loans. I graduated from art school during covid and couldn’t get an internship at the time so it’s been hard paying off my debt.
