My passion is muralism/graffiti, and starting last year, I started painting canvases and showcasing my work at art galleries. But I love to create any and all art. I'm always curious to learn different mediums. Art is Neverending and I will forever be a student
Where do you find inspiration?I use my lived experiences with resilience through mental health, and drug addiction to inspire my creative ideas and bring my testimony to life with the goal of reaching others that need inspiration and motivation to power through any hardships.
What would you do with $25,000?I would purchase a used car, catch up on bills and debts to be able to accelerate the new life i started rebuilding July of 2025 and set solid foundation for my new chance at life. Also invest into a clothing brand that I am going to get off the ground. Thank you
