Abstract or not, I express myself through IG reels—it’s my creative pulse. I also love painting portraits; photography, film, drawing, charcoal, and acrylic all flow together in my work. It’s one connected language of creation.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration comes from museums, people-watching, travel, social media, animals, nature—and real life in all its raw, unfiltered truth.
What would you do with $25,000?I’d open another gallery like before—bring my work out of storage, secure a space, and make it fully digital. I’d engage the 190+ artists I know, fill it with the jazz I love, play piano, and paint—creating a living, breathing creative hub.
