To create gives me sovereignty over my own existence, it gives me freedom from the mundane. It's an extension of myself, a tangible escape

Favorite art to create? Im such a noob in regards to creating art I haven't been able to put my style in a box just yet. I am still in search for discovering my style. All I know is I love creating things that make people think, that make me proud and that tell a story that's influenced by the viewers experiences and perception. A search for sympatico mutuality.
Where do you find inspiration?Everywhere, in everyone, and everything. Not to be cliche, but inspiration is all around me: in a beautiful sun rise/set, in the texture of the clouds, in the contrast in colors and in the diversity of people. My emotional intensity leads me to this deep awareness of the beauty that surrounds me, in my opinion, to feel so deeply is what makes an artist.
What would you do with $25,000?Being a young adult in my late twenties, navigating day to day life and expenses adds up. First and foremost I'd pay off all of my credit cards: no more debt: WHAT A DREAM! I have some medical expenses I would take care of then I would pay my mom and dad back all the money they have loaned me. I would get my dogs taken to the vet, my car paid off and by the grace of God, I might have some money left over and i'd open my first savings account.
