Special effect makeup has always been a creative outlet for me. Bringing characters to life is something that fulfills me in a tangible way.

My favorite art involves people as my canvas. Although I love sculpting prosthetics and figures, there is something about watching your makeup evolve through time that drives my creative passion.
Where do you find inspiration?It is easy to find inspiration with social media now a days. I am inspired by many other special effects I follow, but my main inspiration came from the show "Face Off". The competition show allowed me to realize the SFX industry is limitless and ultimately allowed me to follow through with my dream and learn by industry professionals. This is where I was heavily inspired by hands on experience from my teachers.
What would you do with $25,000?$25,000 dollars would truly allow my craft to evolve to the next level. The money would be put towards buying supplies like liquid latex, mold making materials, foam latex materials, and makeup/airbrush products in which I can use to create a studio work space at home. SFX supplies aren't cheap and are very necessary for me to push myself to learn and create!
