Telling a story, or a feeling I have inside is my goal as an artist. To make others feel understood or heard, and to translate through art.

Painting, and creating films are my favorite to work with, I love how colors can look deep and rich. I like how much surface can be covered, and it’s also impressive to me how a stroke of paint can make a story captivating with a simple shape.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from the world around me, my friends, my family, the little moments I might notice on a walk, or at school. Conversations with others, words from a song or a movie that might resonate with me.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the 25,000$ to help cover the cost for attending college, it would make my artistic journey smoother.
