My favorite style is realistic art with a pop culture twist. I love the balance of using traditional, life-like techniques to capture the energy and symbols of today's contemporary scenes.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration is limitless. I draw ideas from every corner of life, moving through the world with a constant curiosity that allows me to find beauty and narrative in almost anything I encounter.
What would you do with $25,000?My goal is to manifest a long-held vision, a creative world for children to innovate and express themselves freely. This $25,000 would be the catalyst for that dream, allowing me to invest in premium supplies and secure a foundational space. I want to build a landscape where the youth have every resource necessary to turn their imagination into reality.
