spiritual art + fantasy-lite + introspective mood pieces
Where do you find inspiration?I’m inspired by emotion and storytelling. A lot of my pieces start as a feeling—like calm, sadness, or strength—and I build around that using symbolic elements like the moon, flowers, or movement.
What would you do with $25,000?Honestly, my family would come first—they’re the reason I’m able to create at all. After that, I’d put it back into my art so I can keep growing and creating pieces that mean something to people.
