Self-taught and led by emotion, I create art that turns personal healing into connection for others.

I’m drawn to creating canvases and murals that evoke emotion, inspire joy, and foster meaningful connection. My work is rooted in the belief that art can transform both people and spaces—bringing beauty, healing, and a sense of resonance to those who experience it. Whether on canvas or a large-scale wall, I love creating pieces that tell a story and leave a lasting impact.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my own healing journey, the resilience built through overcoming life’s challenges, and the belief that art can create connection. Nature deeply influences my work through its beauty, movement, and grounding presence, while humor reminds me not to take life too seriously. Together, these elements inspire me to create art that softens hard spaces, sparks joy, and brings people and communities together.
What would you do with $25,000?If I won the $25,000, I would use part of it to give back by donating a mural to an organization serving marginalized communities—creating a piece intended to bring hope, visibility, and connection. The remaining funds would be invested into new equipment, materials, and tools that would help me sustainably grow my business and continue pursuing painting as a full-time career.
