Art is great way to free myself from the pain humanity is going though in these dark times. A positive way of expression, and it's fun.

I used to a lot of pretty art like Bob Ross. Then I was really into different art movements though out history. I would take inspiration and techniques from those movements and use it in my own style. I still like to do art that is pleasing to the eye, but I'm also into art that sends a message, and is thought provoking. Banksy for example. My favorite type of art is what I'm working on now. Which is experimental happiness. I try to keep learning, keep studying, and growing as a artist!
Where do you find inspiration?All around me it's everywhere! I like to think the eye is like a portable camera. I research the media, world events, religion, people, and nature. There's so much inspiration that should be shared though art. The good, the bad, and the unknown. I like to write down ideas, and then brainstorm them. How can I recreate it, make it new, make it my own. I ask myself what do I want to say? In the end the inspiration has to come from the heart Something your truly passionate about!
What would you do with $25,000?I haven't given it much thought because it unlikely it would happen. I owe quite a bit of college debt. I know I would like to move out of this town in Ohio. Somewhere were there's a strong art community. I would love to countue to create murals. Do a bit of traveling along the way. I know I would love to give back. Probably helping children ceritites. Because they are the future and sadly the most vulnerable. It's difficult times.This is why coming together and helping each other out is a must
