Art is the only thing I have ever been good at. I find joy in creating what didn’t exist before. Something out of nothing.

I’m a multi disciplinary artist with a foundation in metalwork and I love to experiment. Currently, I’m having fun incorporating metal (like copper and brass) into my painting and textile work.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration all around me. My default is nature, but I love to observe other artists and consume art. If I see something that captivates my attention I immediately sketch it and create my own iterations of the piece.
What would you do with $25,000?I could do a lot with 25k. The first thing that comes to mind is renovating my home and creating a gallery/showroom type of space, as well as a space to teach and host workshops.
