Creating has always been the thing that I was best at. It has become my safe space and my main method of expressing myself.

My favorite mediums to work with are acrylic paint on wood panels and making original clothing designs out of thrifted clothes. I like making art that is personal to me and my story as a trans man. My art often has darker themes and feature bright neon colors to contrast those themes.
Where do you find inspiration?I find a lot of inspiration in nature, specifically bugs because I find their status as a pest while being so vital in their existence to be very captivating. I also take a lot of inspiration from pop-art and Impressionism for my compositions.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use this money to create a website/online store to showcase and sell my artwork. As well as buying a good camera and printer to make my first prints and finally be able to afford the entrance fees for art competitions and art markets. I would love to be a full time artist and this money would make that possible for me.
