Art gives me the freedom, from myself and the world, to express myself. It gives my soul both a voice and the deepest peace, simultaneously.

My favorite type of art to create is bright and bold with vibrant colors. Sharing a passion for writing as well, I have a love for lettering and type- where words are a form of verbal expression, both literally and figuratively. I lean towards floral designs in a lot of my work, with organic, flowing lines, which I like to juxtapose with contrasting themes and textures.
Where do you find inspiration?Most of my inspiration is, cliche as it sounds, the world around me! Based in the center of Wyoming's rugged beauty, nature is most always my starting point. Flora, fauna, landscapes, and the colors of the morning and night skies are at the root of any thing i create.
What would you do with $25,000?I want to start a business selling custom designed clothing at music festivals and fairs around the country. 25k is exactly the estimated cost to fund the start-up investment to buy the equipment and supplies to do that.
