What is your favorite type of art to create?

I create 2D paintings and mixed media drawings, with a strong focus on abstract work. I use imagination as a tool to transform complex ideas into visual stories, exploring themes of sustainability and climate change. Through color, texture, and form, I aim to spark curiosity, raise awareness, and invite viewers to reflect on environmental challenges and the fragile balance between people and the natural world. I blend intuition to encourage dialogue and inspire action toward a sustainable future

Where do you find inspiration?

My inspiration comes from exploring how humans and climate change impact the world, a question I have pursued through environmental art since high school. I create 2D paintings and mixed media drawings, often abstract, using imagination to translate complex sustainability issues into visual form. Through color, texture, and composition, I aim to raise awareness, spark reflection, and inspire deeper consideration of our relationship with the environment and the future we shape to drive change.

What would you do with $25,000?

Receiving this $25,000 would allow me to continue my education in Landscape Architecture with greater focus and fewer financial barriers. It would support tuition, materials, and opportunities that strengthen my growth as an artist and designer. This award would also provide financial stability, allowing me to invest in my creative practice and develop work that addresses environmental challenges while contributing meaningful, sustainable solutions through both art and design.
