I’m easily enamored by things around me in this world and I want to capture it all. The big, the small, the unnoticed and the noticeable.

Recently I’ve been trying to embrace the silly art. I feel like I overthink about trying to make profound and deep art and just try to have fun and not think as much. When I think too much, everything feels too stiff and I tend to bounce around to different mediums. Whatever feels right in the moment! Also love doing too many self portraits…
Where do you find inspiration?I get random spurts of inspiration all around me. Mostly from my environment and interactions with people. Even the music I listen to often times gives me ideas of fun narratives I could interpret into a piece. If it elicits any kind of reaction out of me, I will want to draw it.
What would you do with $25,000?I would love to go to grad school and get my MFA in studio art. This money would help fund this future goal of mine.
