I create art for the people around me. I find that making pieces that uplift an audience makes a significant impact in our society.

I favor making Glass art. It is a difficult medium to work with but creates marvelous end results. I also love the community that comes with making glass art as it inspires a tight knit network that thrives on collaboration.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the people around me. Though I am not an extrovert at heart I still find that connection to people and social ties to be essential for my process. It is in my friends, family, and mentors where I can find joy and creativity.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use 25,000 to further my craft. A lot of my medium requires specialized equipment and tools that I won’t have access to for a while once I graduate college. I would use it to get my own tools and continue my education for grad school and attain a Masters in Fine Arts.
