Art helps me meet myself in ways I wouldn’t be able to if I didn’t create. I’m able to think freely, giving myself no room for judgement.

I like creating intuitive based, trippy, surrealism art. I like to create an environment in my paintings that makes it feel like it’s just you and what’s in the painting. Love making things that us humans register as another human because of facial structure, but it’s no one that they’ve seen before.
Where do you find inspiration?By letting myself live, putting myself out there. Seeing things that make me feel something and letting myself analyze them. I get a lot of inspiration from music as well, I feel music puts pictures into my head that I can only explain through my art.
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay for my tuition, so I don’t have to worry my parents anymore about them having to pay out of pocket. I’d also let myself get my own rented art studio. I’m an artist that works at home with her parents, and even though I’ve made my space my own; I do feel hovered over and cramped, I crave my own space. I sometimes feel limited the space I’m in now, I feel like I’m capable of so much if I had more room to move around, be messy, not worry about how I’m spending my time while creating.
