Creating art is essential to my life on a daily basis. It helps me process and grounds me in a way that nothing else does.

Right now it happens to be line drawings on paper. I go through phases though and it could change to pencil or markers but for now its line drawing.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in everyday plants that I come across in my surroundings. I look for interesting plant structures and overlapping leaves and petals. I like to see the world close up.
What would you do with $25,000?I would seriously consider creating a body of work that I could show to the public. I would apply to galleries and develop my practice as a fine artist. I would take the existing work I have and create much larger and more detailed pieces. I have a dream of going much bigger with my work. I would stay away from the commercial art I have done in the past and focus on the work that I want to make and not what other people are paying for to sell their products.
