I create to escape, like a book is a movie and painting or a drawing is like my stage. I make art to leave my mark in this world.

My favorite type of art to create would be realistic nature drawing scenes of whimsy and magic. I like realism but adding the fairy tale magic to it, giving it a different ambience and make the looker or anyone who sees the paintings feel like they escape to another world. I want to create things for people to feel something special inside. I wanna create art for people to find little hidden gems in, to keep them looking at the artwork and see inside the big picture.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration all around me from my family to nature to everyday objects that I feel I see differently. I mostly use landscapes around me and flowers especially i love the layers and how each one is slightly different like snowflakes. Theres a beautiful world outside and I love to show it through art, i love letting my imagination run wild show other people everyone is a kid at heart still and letting your imagination run wild isnt just for the little ones.
What would you do with $25,000?There could be so many things i would do with $25,000, my first thing I would do is put half towards a charity for cancer research, I’ve had multiple family member struggle or pass away from having cancer and Id love to put a good chunk of money to good use, if it can help more medical research to be done I’d love to donate towards that. And the rest I would use to take care of my family, I would just make sure it goes towards a good cause and can do some good for the world.
