Art is my therapy, my way to connect to my community and my savior. I love to teach, share and transform any surface into works of art.

My favorite way to express my creativity is though fluid art. A small company I began last year is called ElectraPours since I love acrylic and epoxy resin pours.
Where do you find inspiration?I experienced joining a couple paint pouring workshops several years ago while working at a drug and alcohol treatment center where we would bring our clients to an art studio once a week. I was inspired for the first time in years, and began taking online courses to understand the science behind cell reactions and color schemes ect. I was hooked immediately and took it to a whole other level. Now Im paid to teach workshops both for fun with the clients and other community members.
What would you do with $25,000?I would love to have an apt with my own art studio. Currently I paint in the corner of my living room in a one bedroom apt, or have to transport my supplies to my local art studio across town. I would also be able to give back to my community by offering more free workshops.
