Where do you find inspiration?In the old, the vintage and the forgotten. In communing with nature and in the intricate matters of life form. In the Whimsy and in Magical Thinking.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest the winnings into a studio space to work and sell from, ad well as to provide art as a therapeutic tool, with focus towards those on the Autism Spectrum . I am a Behavior Analyst by trade and have used art as a therapeutic tool to help teach self regulation and social behaviors. As a neurodivergent adult, I also bare witness to the benefits of art therapy in conjunction with traditional modalities. ❤️
