I don't like to say that I have a favorite way of creating art, because I have had the privilege of working in theater, making a short film, and experimenting in various workshops—ranging from ceramics, drawing, and painting to papier-mâché, collage, and more. Art calls to me in all its forms, and I learn from and enjoy every single one of them.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in nature, in music, in my artist friends, in my mom's affection, in my friendships, and in the work of other artists.
What would you do with $25,000?My dream is to one day be able to establish an art therapy school in my community—a space where people can find a sanctuary to express their inner world through art, with the appropriate therapeutic support. With this financial assistance, I would seek out the location where I could begin to make my dream a reality.
