What is The People's Artist?

What is your favorite type of art to create?

Realism and Storytelling. Even in fighting, there is a sense of organic storytelling at play. We find ways to express our emotions. Expressionism and Improvisation shows you how quick, and carefree one can be in order to achieve the reaction our hearts desire. I love using my art to communicate to others.

Where do you find inspiration?

I’ve always been able to find inspiration in real life settings. But almost always, I become inspired by other artists. Other people give me the inspiration to recreate. It is the human instinct, to re-create. Mothers and fathers like to re-create themselves in the form of each child. Artists like to recreate emotion. Actors are usually the most inspiring. It requires tremendous amounts of skill, discipline, and raw organic emotion. Thats why I believe we all look for movies to live vicariously.

What would you do with $25,000?

First, I would use the better parts of my 25,000 to rent a beautiful studio apartment downtown in the city! The walls would be made of brick just like the most beautiful Studios you could find in a Hollywood movie. Then I would save the rest to invest in my future. I am a transgender female, and I will strive to achieve my femininity and to look and be, through mind body and soul, a true artistic woman. Cosmetic therapies, acting/modeling classes to be the best woman I could ever hope to become.
