I like to paint with acrylics on canvases. My work lives at the intersection of sensory reality and subconscious exploration. I use the dappled light of impressionism, making it feel like you're in one of my dreams. There is a nurturing whimsy in painting for me. I enjoy creating things that bring me joy in the end.

My inspiration stems from the little details of my life, and the rhythmic pulse of emotions that come with it. My work is an attempt to capture the "soul and heart" of what I encounter. I consider myself a romantic, which reflects quite a lot from the choice of colors. Nature is my first and most constant teacher, and often my go-to escape. I could paint flowers and leaves for hours until I lose track of time. The "little things in life" are what make me happy. Keeps me hopeful.

Receiving $25,000 would be a total game-changer for my creative journey. First, I’d use the funds to wipe out my debt, clearing the financial fog that’s been weighing me down. This stability would facilitate a move into a new apartment—a dedicated space where I can finally breathe and focus. With a secure home base and the stress of bills behind me, I’d have the mental freedom and physical room to truly make art. It’s not just money; it’s the foundation for my future.
