Mixed media artist creating textured, emotional, abstract and floral work while exploring new techniques and materials.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from emotion, nature, and everyday moments that ask me to pause. I’m drawn to the quiet beauty in flowers, movement, and the balance between chaos and calm. As a mother and artist, I channel my experiences into my work, transforming feeling into texture and color. Each piece is a reflection of growth, resilience, and finding peace within the layers.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won $25,000, I would put money aside for my boys’ future, pay down debt to create financial stability, and take care of needed car repairs. This would relieve everyday stress and give me the space to focus more on my art. It’s not just about the money—it’s about creating a stronger, more secure foundation for my family and my future.
