My favorite art to create is abstract art. I have a lot of reasons for this. But the main one being is creating abstract art allows me to be able to be express my thoughts &be my most authentic self in a beautiful &creative way.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the love received or taken away in this experience we call life &the amazing amount of emotional &sometimes physical strength it takes to carry on & still rebuild a life that’s worth it.
What would you do with $25,000?I’m 27 &an artist with very very limited means.Every material I use has been gifted to me. I am unable to work because I have chronic pain in my spine,neck,& hips.I was in the process of going to doctors to figure out why I had this much pain at this age, when my health insurance got cut along with millions of other Americans.I have been in this battle since I was 23.I would use this to be able to afford materials I need to continue creating &inspiring others &to go to the specialists I need.
