I create art to give a voice to the pain I survived by turning trauma into something powerful, honest, and alive.

I mainly create charcoal drawings. I love how it lets me express deep emotion through contrast, shadows, and raw detail. It feels honest and unfiltered, and I often focus on portraits or symbolic pieces that tell a story and connect with people on a deeper level.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in personal experiences, healing, and human emotion. A lot of my work comes from overcoming struggles and turning those feelings into something meaningful. I also love creating pieces that others can relate to and feel less alone through.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to finish my bachelor’s degree and continue working toward becoming a character concept artist. I’d also invest in my art business, supplies, and tools to keep growing and sharing meaningful work that inspires others.
