I’m drawn to creating art that evokes emotion. I’m especially inspired by the ocean, flowers, and light—whether it’s the sun itself, a portal with rays streaming through, the reflection of sunlight on the water, or the fractal patterns you see when you squint into the light. Those elements feel alive to me and help capture a sense of depth, energy, and feeling.
Where do you find inspiration?Everything I see is art , a canvas waiting to be discovered but I find that happens the most when I get out and explore nature or take a long scenic drive , visit new places 🩷
What would you do with $25,000?I would pay off debts , use the funds to travel and live abroad for 6 months somewhere inexpensive and just get inspired and paint , use the time to learn how to market and sell my art and do it well , as well as reinvest into art and materials as well as a business, learning how to become sustainable long term .
