Photography is my favorite art to create as it can come into different forms. My go to is long exposure and cyanotypes. I combine my images into fabrics and wood. I enjoy combining processes and exploring new materials. My art process is mainly hands on as I enjoy putting labor into my work. It gives a sense of stability. My mind is never steady as I go through ideas like kids through candy.

I find inspiration from new techniques and from my own struggles. I have bipolar disorder, this influences my art a lot as it’s a way for me to show people how I feel and see. Ive had a lot of hardships in my life, I struggle deeply to understand and talk about it, so I communicate with my work. My inspirations are drawn from what I view and feel. From what I’ve learn from being on my own and growing up. Inspiration comes and goes but the ones that stay, the ones that I create, those are forever

If I had $25,000 I would find myself my own home and move out. Try to understand what I could do with $25,000. Find a home, pay off cars, student debt. I think I would try to figure out how to live life after college. I’d send what I can to my mom after helping me out and to do my dad. Maybe some to my siblings. But I think I’d use it to figure out my next step in my life.
