I create oil paintings, mosaic glass art, and large-scale murals. Murals are my passion because they transform public spaces and connect with entire communities. My work blends bold color, texture, and storytelling to leave a lasting impact, whether it’s on a city wall or a detailed canvas.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from personal growth and the emotions I experience through different stages of life. I constantly challenge myself to evolve beyond my previous work. I also draw inspiration from the beauty in everyday surroundings, turning real-life moments into meaningful visual stories.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would build impact that lasts beyond me. I would provide stability for my family. I would invest in my art to create larger, meaningful works that reach and inspire my community. I would also dedicate a portion to supporting orphaned children, because I believe even a small act of giving can remind someone they are seen, valued, and not alone. This opportunity would not only change my life, but allow me to uplift others through both action and art.
