Art has always been engraved in my soul. It gives purpose to my imagination, and gives it a stage. Creating art is within everything I do.

I am a multidisciplinary artist whose style moves fluidly across many mediums. Rather than confining myself to a single form, I have developed a love of exploring and transforming materials into something meaningful. I love painting with acrylics, watercolors, and oils, as well as animating and illustrating portraits. I also enjoy knitting, sewing my own fashion designs, homesteading by making soaps/candles, developing film in photography, and building sculptures using found materials.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration everywhere, in the rhythm of my life, in the simplest task, in my relationships, and in the stories shared between friends. From the drip of rain off of a leaf, to the texture of fabric beneath my hands, its everywhere! Everything holds deep emotional potential for art. I paint to process, to generate ideas, and to release what I can’t carry. When I’m happy, my art is lighter, brighter, like it’s giving that feeling back to me and when I’m not, I let that live in my work too.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d be lying if I said that wouldn’t change the entire trajectory of my life. Having that level of stability and freedom wouldn’t just support my work, it would amplify it. My goal is to create an Arts Therapy Hub. I want to create a space where people can heal, express, and reconnect through creativity. A space that hosts art shows and exhibitions that actively build community and uplift local artists and vendors. A real space where we can be seen and supported.
