I love to create art because it allows me to express feelings and emotions that can't be conveyed through words

My favorite type of art to create is abstract paintings, primarily finger-paintings. I love working with my hands to explore patterns and textures, and really, physically connect with the paint and canvas. There's just something so serene about getting lost in the colors and the movement of a piece.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in patterns I encounter in everyday life, with a vast majority of those coming from nature. The ebbs and flows of water, fireflies dancing in the trees, fields of wildflowers.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would put some of it towards my bills and my parents' bills, donate some of it to help protect our forests and our wildlife, invest a little bit, and if there's any leftover maybe some new art supplies (or a new tattoo, let's be honest)
