It makes me feel alive. I take negative emotions&transform them into something beautiful. In the end, u cant spell “painting” without “pain”

Honestly I love all types of art but drawing and painting are my favorite.
Where do you find inspiration?In pain, difficulty, chaos, and everyday life. Art finds me in the most chaotic moments of my life and brings me serenity. I’m also inspired by the fact that I can influence others through my art… when they see it, they’re encouraged to create their own and who knows, it might bring them peace as well, just as it does for me.
What would you do with $25,000?Open my art program for those who are struggling to find something theyre passionate bout. This can be a space where they reconnect with themselves. Art becomes a way to process pain. So many of us are searching for something to fill that void, creating can do that, giving u a sense of purpose & showing that u don't need substances to feel alive, inspired or connected. There’s beauty in healing through creativity. This is bout finding that spark again & realizing it was within u all along.
