Connect What is your favorite type of art to create?

I absolutely love to create fine art, specifically I love to paint in Impressionism. Using big brushes to display textures, and layering color overtop in a way that is so special to me. I know the process like I know the back of my hand at this point, it's one of the only things in life where my brain seems to take over, not in an overwhelmed way, but something that feels so precious to me. At times I feel like a mad scientist with my creation, and yes sometimes I will let out an evil laugh.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in myself. I like to almost create experiences that I’ve felt before. I often look inward attempting to explain myself to the outside world, in a way that is so much more valuable than words. I find inspiration in natural color pallets. I absolutely adore birds, their amazing vibrant color pallets, and patterns that feel so unreal.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would finish paying for school. I go to Savannah College Of Art and Design, which is a big financial responsibility. This year was my first year and I have a couple of scholarships. I am grateful to have a family that financially supports my artistic journey. My mother was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer, and cancer forced her to take a more part time role in her career. This $25,000 would make sure I wasn’t a financial burden on my family.
