I like to create art that represents my inner self. As someone who loves color, texture, and shapes, I connect with the viewer in an engaging, inviting way—sparking curiosity and interpretation. I experiment with mixed media, blending light and shadow to reveal what the canvas holds. Art for me is wonder, beauty, curiosity, culture, feelings, and freedom.
Where do you find inspiration?I am inspired by cultural narratives, memories, dreams and the interplay of light and shadow. I often embrace unexpected accidents during the process, letting spontaneity guide new creations.
What would you do with $25,000?Workspace improvements and materials and studio setup. Update to higher quality paints, canvas and tools. Give some for charity.
