Art is my way of self expression. I’ve had a really hard life, being diagnosed with PTSD. My art helps me turn off that part of my brain.

I don’t really have a style, I just create. I love painting, I love sketching, clay, tattooing, etc. Art is really just everything. And I love all forms of it.
Where do you find inspiration?My head really and honestly. I have a vivid imagination so that helps.Sometimes things around me, or emotions influence that. I’ve noticed if I take my time with something, that’s when my art really shows. Then I’ll have all types of emotions just poured into my work.
