Receive Text UpdatesI love flowers and space. Combining the two concepts make for such inspirational visions in my mind. I use primarily graphite and ballpoint pens that you can easily find on multimedia paper. I’ve also been exploring digital art using ProCreate. I love to make art that stimulates the eyes with so much detail. Each stroke of the pencil is intentional and meant to tell the story.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature and museums. I appreciate visual art made by brush or pen. Museums display beautiful paintings of plants and flowers. I also mainly find inspiration in the music I listen to. I hear a song that I like, and I intend to make visual art of it.
What would you do with $25,000?This amount of money is overwhelming to think about. One place I would put this money would be towards autism awareness. Whether it be donations to research projects, clinics, or day programs. I personally work in a related field, and I see such opportunities for creative growth in these individuals. I would also seek to donate to the musical and art departments in my high school. I want my community to never lose the love for music and the visual arts.
