Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the quiet details of life: light shifting across a surface, weathered textures, human emotion, and the stories hidden in ordinary objects. A color, a memory, or a fleeting mood can spark an idea that grows into something larger. I’m especially drawn to places where feeling and form meet, because that’s where art starts to breathe.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would open the gallery I’ve always dreamed of creating. It would be a space to showcase bold, emotional work, bring people together, and give art a place to be seen, felt, and remembered. creating, a place built to share meaningful art and invite people into a real creative experience. It would be more than just a display space; it would be a gathering place for inspiration, conversation, and emotional connection.
