Creating art feels like falling in love with possibility, letting my imagination run wild through paint, texture, and anything I can touch and turn into something uniquely mine. The strange part is that even when a piece feels finished, there is always something still stirring inside me, quietly pulling me back, asking for one more layer, one more touch, one more chance to make it even more beautiful.
Where do you find inspiration?It did not begin as inspiration. It began as rescue, a quiet way out, something to hold my sanity together and keep me far from alcohol. Now, nearly five years into sobriety, art has become far more than a source of inspiration. It has become the place where I found the missing part of myself, the other self I had been searching for all along.
What would you do with $25,000?Take my daughter and my mother out on a shopping spree for a whole day, and pay off my tuition to upgrade my skills.
