I create art because it heals me to my soul. I love putting out artwork that shines through positivity, encouragement and faith.

I like to create sculptures more than anything. There’s just something about making a creature and then being able to form its smile, and hold it in the palm of your hands! Purely magical and yet, I am still amazed at each new creation!
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in every nook and cranny! While hiking in my favorite spots, spending time with my children, and even reminiscing on old memories! Most people don’t know this, but sometimes, I will include bits of them in some art that I made. Everything I experience can become art!
What would you do with $25,000?Winning $25,000 would be amazing for both my family’s stability and my professional growth. As a mother of two, I will invest a portion into my sons’ growing needs to help with their futures. The remainder will transform my art business by upgrading production equipment and expanding my digital marketing. This prize isn't just a windfall; it’s exactly what’s needed to transform my creative passion into a sustainable legacy while modeling entrepreneurship for my boys.
