I love to create art, because it’s my outlet. It’s my safe place in a world full of noise. I find myself most at ease when creating.

My absolute favorite type of art to create would be raw sketches. I also love to paint. There are many different forms of art that I can do. However, if I had to choose one, it would be sketching with just my pencil and paper.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the little things that people don’t speak much about, like emotion or places even history. Nature is one of my biggest inspirations, not only is nature, is one of my inspirations, but so is emotion, places, people, and even animals. I find life in every little thing. Even if it’s adding some depth to a painting by creating more contrast, it is as if the contrast itself speaks life into my art. (I’ll be posting art progress & final results on my profile)
What would you do with $25,000?I’m a young woman trying to find herself in the world, I’m 19 and at a moment In my life where I am trying to save up for a new car, and move away from home. Make something of myself. So if I were to win this competition, I would take that money put some of it into my savings, and use the rest to get up on my feet and start a life of my own away from family. As much as I love family it’s time for me to move out of the nest and make something of make something of myself in the world.
