What is your favorite type of art to create?

I am drawn to visionary, symbolic work created through watercolor, Mischtechnik, and collage. My process is intuitive and layered, allowing imagery to emerge organically rather than planned out. I often explore sacred geometry, feminine archetypes, and nature-based symbolism. Each piece becomes a dialogue between the visible and invisible worlds, where emotion, memory, and spiritual insight come together in form and color.

Where do you find inspiration?

My inspiration comes from nature, consciousness, intuitive visions and lived spiritual experience. Years of working in my own spiritual practice and earth-based wisdom deeply inform my imagery. I am also inspired by dreams, meditation, and inner vision, as well as the emotional landscapes of healing and transformation. The natural world and its subtle intelligence constantly guide my creative process.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would use this support to stabilize my creative practice after significant health-related income loss following major heart surgery and recovery. It would allow me to invest in materials, expand my online presence, and share my work more widely through exhibitions, writing, and teaching. My intention is to reach more people with art that supports healing, reflection, and inner connection while sustaining my livelihood. I have a lot to share with my community through art, herbalism and writing.
