I create art because it is the only thing I've ever experienced that makes me feel whole.

Painting, drawing, sculpture, fashion, video, and music (DJing). I have a multifaceted Art practice that allows my art to be translated in all sorts of different mediums!
Where do you find inspiration?I am an information ingest-er. I constantly mood board and find inspiration from near everything. Fashion, photography, fine art, videos, music, clothing shapes, people walking down the street, patterns, architecture, design, books, philosophy, psychology, cartoons - there is so much information to appreciate and I feel like I am a fly on the wall observing everything objectively.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won the $25,000 I would save a little bit of it and have the rest go toward my art practice. I'd move back to the city and invest in producing ideas I've had in mind. I'd have the opportunity to finally get a studio, where I could work from and create a space for community, as well as operate in a larger capacity - It would literally change my life.
