Fine line art and botanical and whimsy landscapes are my vibe, with majority of my drawings hiding a cat or two. In my head when I’m drawing botanical themes, I picture 2 things: a video game map and or an eye spy book from back in the day. With my landscapes my intentions are never to make one area the focal point. I want the viewer to go on a journey. And when drawing buildings and sites around St Pete Fl. I just try to capture as much of it as I can with no rulers or perspective
Where do you find inspiration?NATURE and the beauty in architecture. Living in St Petersburg Florida my whole life I’ve grown to appreciate the beauty in both. April 2025 is when my inspiration found a pen and my appreciation has only grown since.
What would you do with $25,000?Make my parents proud, and myself. I’d like to be able to afford my medication for my skin and asthma and help my parents after all these years. I work full time as a veterinary technician (currently all cat hospital) and with that job comes a lot of stress and financial constraint, unfortunately. Taking my pen to paper has been a way of decompressing this past year and the thought of it possibly paying off one day gives me a boost to keep going, regardless.
