Where do you find inspiration?My family is my biggest inspiration. I suffer from CPTSD and my art is my strongest release from the chaos I deal with mentally. I've always had a passion for art ever since I first started showing interest in it at 7. Most of my life has been directed at improving my skills in order to be someone else's inspiration to pursue art. My children have shown not only support, but the same interest I had when started my journey in art.
What would you do with $25,000?I would the use funds to increase my workspace and allow me the ability to broaden my horizons. It give me the chance to finally start the journey of opening my own shop or gallery to showcase not only my art, but my family's as well. I'd be able to take that first step of creating a legacy that I could pass on to my children and their children. Art has played a huge part in who I am as a person and all I've ever wanted is have people truly appreciate the passion I put into every piece I create.
