Being diagnosed with an incurable form of leukemia has robbed me of so much. It couldn’t rob my creativity! That’s why I paint!

Painting abstract art
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my fellow cancer patients/survivors. Their vision is my vision, their strength is my strength.
What would you do with $25,000?As much as I could use it for my treatments I would like to donate it to a child who can’t afford their cancer treatments themselves. Even if I don’t win I still want to find a way to help these children. I’ve lived my life but these kids have their whole lives ahead of them.
