As one of the purest forms of self expression, I’ve learned that with every brush stroke I feel more myself.

My favorite mediums are painting and collage. Over the years, I’ve come to create a lot of mixed media paintings. I include everything from newspaper clippings to the box label from my favorite bakery down the street. I like to mix current events with emotions to create almost a stamp of time in my life.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everything! From nature, to media, to fashion and more. Colors are often the spark of my inspiration. As we enter spring, I can’t help but notice the blossoming trees, the colorful sundresses and the overall media shift to brighter hues. If I’m ever shy on inspiration, I take a walk through NYC and come home with more ideas that I can even keep track of.
What would you do with $25,000?I would get my own art studio and focus on creation collections with specific focuses to broaden my skills and continue to connect with others through art. I would hope to spread the joy I received in art with everyone I can reach. I would also love to host workshops to bring people together to create.
