Creating art is my ultimate tool for self-discovery. It allows me to explore my gifts, release my emotions, and teach others.

My favorite types of art to create are painting and literature. I love reading about different topics of history, science, humanities and psychology, which constantly motivates me to experiment with new shapes, textures, and mixed mediums in my own work.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature and world cultures. Understanding the roots of these elements helps me appreciate authenticity and brings a deeper, more genuine meaning to my creative process.
What would you do with $25,000?Winning will allow me to invest the funds into opening my own dedicated art studio and gallery in Houston, Texas. It has always been my dream to have a permanent workspace where I can get messy and push my creative boundaries. Beyond my own practice, I want to welcome the public to experience art firsthand and create a space, complete with a coffee shop and workstations, that supports local artists, helping them promote their work and take their first steps into the industry.
