I have always been comforted by art, ever since I was little. Whenever I felt angry, sad, or lonely, art has helped me express myself.

I like all kinds of art, but I love drawing and surrealism. I enjoy combining things that wouldn’t normally go together to create something strange, emotional, and sometimes even a little scary or funny.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in a lot of things, whether it's nature, music, or movies. But a lot of my inspiration does come from my imagination and feelings. When I work on a drawing, my mind already comes up with so many ideas for the next one.
What would you do with $25,000?I would save the money for something important. I would put into my savings account and continue working to add to the amount. And if my family needed help, like if they got sick and couldn't go to work, I'd help pay the bills, groceries, etc. If I had a lot saved over, I'd also find a place of my own and invest in my art and creative space.
