My favourite type is art out of Glass. It has helped me work through my mental health issues, I love to take fragments of glass and create a piece out of it. I am currently working on a collection that once the pieces are sold the proceeds will go to benefit a charity that works to benefit youth mental health
Where do you find inspiration?My mental health journey and my disabiility journey has inspired me taking fragments and putting them toether to make something whole is representative of my journey. No two pieces ever look a like they are all unique in their own way just like episodes of a life journey
What would you do with $25,000?I would use part of it to take more classes to improve my craft and part of it would go to Jack.org its an awesome organization that advocates for youth mental health initiatives, Part of it I would like to start a program for adults with learning disabilties and autism who were diagnose late in life, like me many were told you can't you will never but its never to late to make your dreams a reality thank you for this opportunity
