What is your favorite type of art to create?

I create any image or idea I have in mind. But I do love to create people. There’s so many different ways to express feelings, expressions. Something I struggle to really understand sometimes. Hands are another specialty. There’s so many forms they can take and it’s funny that artist complain that it’s the hardest to draw yet, I find it fascinating. I love to do colors as there’s so many different Hughes shadows lightning that can be brought onto a canvas. You can breathe life into every picture

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in my imagination, but also in my surroundings. From every tree and plants that come across or somebody walking by the street with a particular unique style I keep those references in my mind or in my phone and add my own little twist..

What would you do with $25,000?

If I won the prize money I would place 8,000 worth into an account for my 6 month old son. He’s my world and I want to make sure I help him advance further in this world as he grows. I would then make sure to secure a better home for him to always be able to come back to. Personally I would also pay off any lingering debts and get another car for the household. Any remaining money left over will go into savings as we continue to build, save ,and find the financial freedom we’ve been working for.
