Art, for me, is a form of release, like writing in a diary without using words.

I draw and paint people, especially women. I love bringing colorful, whimsical, imperfect figures to life. There’s something freeing about letting go of precision and embracing the beauty in imperfection.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m often inspired by women, nature, and a sense of play. As adults, I think it’s important to free our minds from time to time - to scribble, explore, have fun, or express something that needs to come out. To shape something until it feels like an extension of ourselves. Sharing my art is my way of spreading love, joy, and a little bit of that freedom outward.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use $25,000 towards a down payment on a home.
