When I feel disconnected from myself, this practice helps me return through abstract art, journaling, and creative ritual. Grateful.

Abstract Mixed Media

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration everywhere. I choose to live abstractly.

What would you do with $25,000?

With $25,000, it would help me to pay for studio space for our local neurodivergent teens. A safe space to create is something we all deserve, and I want to help give that to them by offering open art studios with supplies that are either free or easily affordable.
