I strive to make art that tells a story. I always want to make art that speaks and tells a story that wouldn’t otherwise be told.

I like to create mixed media paintings that defy the expectations of what a normal painting should be. My biggest goal is to make art that makes people feel.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration through those around me and the life I’ve lived. God gave me the eyes to see the potential of beauty through hardship and loss. I will use these eyes for that purpose for as long as I possibly can.
What would you do with $25,000?I am a college student studying art education with the hopes of being a teacher. I would use the money to pay off my student loans and general cost of living. It’s a boring answer but it’s what’s needed in my life right now.
