I love to create art, because I inspire to make a name for myself as a starving artist. I have mental condition, and I'm driven for change.

I haven't gotten into abstract art form yet, but I do review a lot of it in order to understand depth. My type of art is pretty much basic. What I see, what I can capture through scratching out, and then challenging myself to convert or transform into an actual painting. By using a combination of acrylic paints, paint markers, some oils and pastels. I try to combine various painting tools, in order to create something with some balance, that says or represents something.
Where do you find inspiration?The world. With everything currently going on. My empathic senses enjoy attempting to capture what another person is feeling, going through, or trying to express themselves without saying.
What would you do with $25,000?Secure a reliable car. Compensate people who have assisted or supported my intentions as well as my work along the way. For me generally, it's about being recognized as someone really trying to make a mark in the art world. Because I know that there are way more artist and qualifiers, that are more deserving than me. Still, the passion is there. So for me, to focus on the material prize is less important...than making someone's think, smile, or react to my efforts in a heartfelt way.
