Painting is where I find peace and relaxation.

I’m an acrylic painter, and I mostly stick to painting pets, people, and cars. I love using acrylics because they let me work fast and really nail the details. Whether it’s someone’s dog or a cool vintage car, I just enjoy capturing the stuff people are actually passionate about.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration mostly comes from seeing how much people care about the things I’m painting. I know that for most families, a pet isn't just an animal, they’re a huge part of the soul of the house. It’s the same with cars, whether it’s a project someone built themselves or a dream car they finally bought, there’s a lot of pride and hard work behind that metal. I’m driven by the love people have for their families and the things that make their lives special.
What would you do with $25,000?If I had $25,000, my focus would be split between my passion and my recovery. First and foremost, I’d use those funds to really get my health back on track following my brain surgery. Having the space to focus on healing without the stress of every little bill would be a game-changer. From there, I’d pour the rest back into my art. I want to keep growing as a painter.
