My designs don’t just show lines. They invite perception to wander past recognition, into spaces where certainty loosens its grip.

Abstract geometric pieces, shapes that weave into each other, building depth through layer upon layer of color, almost like a visual rhythm unfolding over time.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from five years of sobriety. Each layer of color reflecting growth, each intersecting shape holding the tension between who I was and who I’m becoming. It’s not just abstraction, it’s transformation in motion.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I would invest in the talents I’m uncovering through my art. I’d use it as a way to reach people and shift perspectives around depression. My work would be about connection, about helping others feel seen and understood. It’s more than creativity; it’s a second chance to rebuild, to redefine, and to become who I’m truly meant to be.
