It lets me feel free, messy, and powerful hands in paint, making chaos beautiful.

I love hand-painting ,dipping my hands directly into paint and pressing, smearing, and splashing it onto the canvas. It’s wild, physical, and unpredictable. No brushes, just raw touch and instinct. The mess becomes energy, and every smudge tells a story. It feels powerful because there’s no undo button just pure expression straight from my body to the art.
Where do you find inspiration?In texture, motion, and emotion. A storm, a crowded street, spilled coffee, or the way light hits tangled fingers. I’m inspired by things that can’t be perfectly controlled like my own paint-covered hands. The mess of real life, raw feelings, and the freedom to create without fear of being “neat.”
What would you do with $25,000?I'd use it to help my wife start her business that's the dream she's been working toward. Then I'd put $8,000 aside for my daughter's future. Anything left would go toward paint and canvas so I can keep making wild, messy, powerful art with my hands. Family first, always.
