Art reminds me of the little kid in the inside. Creating brings me closer to her, which brings me joy. And in turn, brings joy to others.

Sea creatures and abstract works inspired by the sea and nature. But primarily octopuses. They're so fluid and fun to paint. When working on something abstract, I'm mesmerized by the textures and the way the paint flows (or doesn't!).
Where do you find inspiration?All around me. I walk a lot through the city and if I see something beautiful I'll usually stop to capture it with my phone. I'll also go on nature walks or hikes to find beauty. And of course, searching for imagery online. Though that's getting harder with all the fake AI crap out there!
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest it all into my art. I would take time off from my job to really focus on art for a full month. It would pay for me to take that time, buy materials, buy frames, and find places that would be willing to show my work.
