I love to create art because it helps me to focus on something that I can control; controlling every brush stroke and every pencil mark.

I love to create pencil sketches/realistic drawings. But it doesn't stop there. I really enjoy playing around with different mediums and styles to create different types of art.
Where do you find inspiration?Seeing other people’s art in art museums and just online in general truly inspires me to deviate from my typical art style and create something completely new. It’s not just seeing things online; incorporating my feelings into my art can be like true therapy for me. This inspires me to create art that is more tailored for myself rather than to someone else.
What would you do with $25,000?Ive always been faced with the question, “what would you do if you were given a huge sum of money?” And truly Ive never been able to give a straight answer. On one hand, I would love to donate it to an art cause, giving children who've never been able to express themselves through art a change to do so. On the other hand, It would be very beneficial to use this money for my college and career. I am not fully sure what I would do yet, but I know that I would use it in a responsible, healthy way.
