Art that explores and expresses emotions and experiences that are often difficult to put into words. Art that feels powerful and resonates in a way that is vulnerable and deeply human.
Where do you find inspiration?From my own life, my journey of resilience. The strength it takes to be a woman and a mother. The calm, unadulterated beauty of nature. And the stories of resilience and fortitude in the people around me and that have inspired me.
What would you do with $25,000?$25,000 would really just provide me a window of opportunity to not worry about bills and go all in perfecting my craft and pushing myself to the next level of making a living off my art. I would use some for advertisement to build an online audience and of course there would have to be an art supply budget ! I would also donate to a local art studio in Albuquerque called ArtStreet who makes art accessible to everyone regardless of housing status, and buy some art from my artist friends.
