What is your favorite type of art to create?

My primary art form is dance, so I would say it’s dance. Making crafts comes after. I only have one piece posted on this and I’m naming it “I’ll figure it out” My plans are to Create a collection called “ all I see is yellow “ collection.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration from God, the greatest artist in existence. I find inspiration from other artist’s work at museums and reading the brief cards about their art piece. I find inspiration in the idea and belief that Art uplifts others, like it did me , and I plan to do the same for others through my art.

What would you do with $25,000?

Use the money to make more art in the hopes of having it presented at my home town in San Diego at the Balboa Park art museum. Give some to friends and family. And give most of it to homeless people begging on the streets.
