I feel the most myself when I'm creating, I have a passion for turning something in my brain to something visible and bringing it to life!

My favorite type of art to create is multi media art forms centered around realism, I'm currently really into tufting (rug making) and capturing a real people or animals or even a moment in time a bring it to life, through yarn or painting, & I love to work with clay.
Where do you find inspiration?A lot of my inspiration comes from my favorite musicians and artists and music itself. At the moment (Billie Eilish, Tyler the Creator, Doechii, Zara Larsson) people's pets, animals and nature, etc. I also admire pop art and I love to work with color, vibrant colors inspire me.
What would you do with $25,000?If I was lucky enough to receive $25,000, I would likely use it to purchase a reliable car so I can have consistent transportation for work, since my current vehicle is no longer functioning. I would also use part of the money to buy my mom a high quality wig, as she has developed alopecia and I would love to help restore some of her confidence because she truly deserves that.
