Receive Text UpdatesRight now, I’m really enjoying realism and abstract work. I like the balance between the two, capturing something familiar while still leaving room for interpretation and feeling.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in reflection within myself, my experiences, and the people around me. My muses feel like mirrors. I’m drawn to moments and the beauty in everyday life.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d start by paying my studio rent to give myself peace of mind and the space to fully create without pressure. From there, I’d invest in printing my illustrated wellness journal and put money into paint classes for youth, creating access to art through supplies, guidance, and community enrichment.
