I’ve always made art as a way to express my emotions since the moment i could pick up a pencil. I love creating things I’ve never seen.

I love creating symmetrical line work, art with a mix of fantasy and surrealism in some way. I love playing with the idea of symmetry in my art, especially with a lot of detail because usually it brings you straight into the middle of the canvas or print. I love, colorful art however a lot of my digital stuff is less colorful the painting I love painting with colors and blending and making up my own color pallets.
Where do you find inspiration?I inspiration everywhere there are times I could look at an object. I can remember this one time where I was staring at a piece of a muffin, and I saw an image in it and ended up creating that image and like a small sketch there are times where I see hairstyle videos and I get an idea based off of that photography, and also my daily life, I get a lot of inspiration. I could be sitting in bed at 12 AM and randomly get an idea that I take notes on.
What would you do with $25,000?If I had $25,000 right now, I would send myself back to school to finish my degree for art therapy as of right now I’ve been working full-time as a special needs teacher/sub to build up my credit so I can cosign and take out a loan myself. Our therapy has always been my dream. I am so connected through anything artistic specifically making and creating art my whole life. Since the moment I could pick up a pencil and a paintbrush.
