Art lets me express what I imagine, or can’t say, turning vision into something real, leaving a piece of myself behind to inspire others.

My favorite Art to create is provocative realism which tells a story, mainly in the media of painting and tattoo which lives on someone's body.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration for me is found where story, emotion, and atmosphere meet— somewhere between life's experiences: moments, struggles and phases of life shape my aesthetic choices. Turning that into imagery that doesn’t just have a visual impact, it has layers and meaning. The pressure to "get the right look" becomes the fuel. I've been inspired by so many artists, writers, musicians, actors and teachers that I just wish to carry the torch and inspire others.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000 I would buy and open a larger art studio space where others can be educated in the arts, tattooing, as well as showcasing artists local and afar with a monthly rotating gallery.
