I make art because it transforms my emotions into beauty and allows me to carry a message of healing, strength, and transformation.

My favorite type of art is the pyrography technique (fire on wood). I like to tell my story through the shadows and illuminations of heat.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from the courage to face my traumas and give them a voice, to be able to carry a message of healing through art
What would you do with $25,000?1: I would invest in taking my work to other parts of the world, 2: In supporting and sponsoring another artist's project, 3: In expanding my art studio with materials and tools. I would use the $25,000 prize for these things.
