I’m highly neurodivergent and on a spectrum. Drawing helps me pick one of the million stations going on in my head. It’s a form of therapy.

I enjoy creating abstract art that reflects what’s going on in my head. It’s like spilling all of the imagery on paper in a form of mental release.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration mostly in the chaos that I deal with mentally. I draw and create art by following the stream of my consciousness rather than with my eyes which, in result, brings quite abstract and out of the box results.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d be able to support my artistic journey and invest in supplies to further explore what my artistic psyche has in store.
