Creating art is like my need to eat, to breathe. It has surpassed love, and has become an integral part of who I am.

I love creating abstract paintings full of emotion, depth, and color. I love focusing on expressing my sense of wonder, pain, and beauty through whimsical line work that blends harmoniously with emotionally fueled backgrounds, yet maintains its boundaries and imagery.
Where do you find inspiration?When I paint, I tap into a space I feel in my dreams, a place I feel in the pause of my breath. It's a place of grieving and release. Inspiration is every where if you allow yourself to feel.
What would you do with $25,000?I would rent a studio of my own so I can have the dedicated space to pursue all my artistic desires from 3 deminsional paintings to sculpting and wood-burning. I will also pursue further art education so I can be a better painter and achieve a greater level of confidence in myself as an artist.
