What is your favorite type of art to create?

My favorite type of art to create is meaningful visual art that combines beauty, emotion, and symbolism. I especially love creating spiritual, modern, and expressive pieces; art that tells a story, holds depth, and creates a personal connection with people. I am naturally drawn to designs that feel elegant, impactful, and timeless, often centered around black and white with a touch of gold, aqua, or one bold dominant color.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in everyday life, human emotions, faith, culture, nature, and personal experiences. I’m inspired by moments of love, resilience, memories, architecture, and sacred symbolism. Sometimes inspiration comes through pain transformed into strength, and sometimes through peace transformed into creativity. I also notice beauty in small details that others may overlook, and those moments often become the spark behind my work.

What would you do with $25,000?

With $25,000, I would invest in growing my artistic journey into a sustainable creative business. I would purchase better tools and materials, build a professional online presence, create a dedicated studio workspace, and develop collections that reflect purpose and meaning. I would also use part of it to support community-centered creative projects, collaborate with others, and create art that uplifts, heals, and connects people through beauty and emotion.
