I love art because it is the only thing that makes me feel alive. If I can make someone happy with my art I’m complete.

I love to create meaningful art. Every detail in my art pieces have a meaning and matter. I love to use acrylic paint, or just simple pencils. My favorite type of art to create is art that is alive in the eyes of someone just walking by. It’s never anything to specific, I think art can be whatever you make of it, so I create art that people can feel.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration from the trauma in my life. I tell my story through my art. I inspire myself.
What would you do with $25,000?I live in a young adult homeless housing. I’ve been here for a couple years trying to save money so I can get on my feet and provide for me and my cats, start my journey. I want to travel and see the world, I would use this money to buy a trailer or small apartment and travel the world and sell my art. I want to have a place to live for me and my cats.
