I love art because it helps me not think of all of the difficult things going on in reality. It helps me see the world in unique ways.

My favorite type of art to create is faces because when I make a new face I get to come up with a whole backstory and a reason why that person is the way they are. Every person and every face is different, but even then some of them have such unique and interesting back stories that sometimes you have to draw them out as that face.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration almost anywhere I go I love to go to art museums and see how painters used to draw their families, random strangers, and sometimes even how they would draw themselves. Inspiration to be found anywhere it just depends on how you use it.
What would you do with $25,000?If I have the $25,000 I would use it to further my education and go to college to major in secondary education. I’ve always wanted to be a teacher and if I had the money I would be able to continue my dream and be able to not worry about how I’m gonna get the money to pay for it but instead, I would celebrate that I have the money and instead use my time and energy wisely to be able to become the teacher I’ve always wanted to be.
