I create to give feelings a form—transforming thoughts, energy, and experiences into something others can connect with

Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in emotion, color, and energy—especially in moments of change, healing, and growth. Nature, music, and everyday experiences shape my work, along with the textures and meanings of crystals and materials I use. I’m drawn to contrasts—soft and bold, calm and chaotic—and I translate those feelings into pieces people can connect with on a deeper level.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the opportunity to fully invest in my growth as an artist—creating a dedicated space, expanding my materials, and producing more intentional, high-quality work. I’d also focus on building visibility through exhibitions and online platforms, while creating space to collaborate and uplift others through art and shared creative experiences.
