My favorite type of art to create is illustration that tells a story and captures emotion. I like creating work that turns simple scenes into something meaningful.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m inspired by everyday life, nature, quiet beauty, and the memory.
What would you do with $25,000?I recently became paralyzed, and I would use $25,000 to create stability and rebuild my life. It would help cover essential living expenses, support therapy and adaptive needs, and allow me to invest in my illustration career through tools, prints, and growing my online business. It would give me the opportunity to focus on healing and building long-term independence.
