Photography
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from nature, connecting with myself and with other creators in my community. Photography has shown me a whole new world of art that has helped me gained the level of confidence I only dreamed of. My life goal is the keep tapping into this world of creativity.
What would you do with $25,000?First, I would pay off my debt unfortunately being creative can be a costly investment. Second, I would give back to the people that helped me get here like my best friend who is a photographer as well. Lastly take my daughter out on a dream vacation, I want to inspire her as well. I want to show her that she doesn’t have to set any limits on the endless possibilities that life can put on her.
