Being in my bicycle & doing my art is the one thing that keeps me breathing, born with a learning disability people don’t wanna be around.

As I grow up I know this that reading & writing wasn’t something that I was able to do, by the time I was in high school is when I get into photography. Seeing all there is to see around me. Nature places people being in the back of everything to capture The Now of the moment bringing a purpose to my life to live, time to time I have just about give up for I couldn’t find a way to share my photography because there always someone better then me
Where do you find inspiration?Having a Dominican family telling me that art doesn’t matter because it doesn’t put food on the table yeah it hurt to hear them say such thing but me being me didn’t care & keep making art from what I knew, photography, painting, and crocheting give me comfort that not all is lost even if I don’t ever get to sale something in this life I know I did for me.
What would you do with $25,000?I will get a ticket back to the Dominican Republic, I miss my home like a cup of water miss the ocean. And the rest I’ll probably get a car for I to be able to go exploring when nobody wants to give you a ride.
