Being fluid and vibrant is how I make my way through life. Sometimes I find the time to put that feeling and struggle into my artwork.

I paint, sculpt, and do graphic design. I enjoy painting the most, it has been one of the best emotional coping strategies throughout many seasons of my life. Seeing paint on my hands the next day gives me such joy knowing I made time for myself to create and release stress.
Where do you find inspiration?Nature, dreams, and every day patterns and colors where I find the beauty in the mundane routine of life.
What would you do with $25,000?I could invest in my art and focus more time to creating, showcasing and transition my craft into a source of income. I would buy a proper easel, get prints made, and supplies to start selling my art more prominently. I would love to find a serene place where I can have a proper studio space.
