My favorite art to create is painting on natural feathers. This delicate yet resilient medium allows me to capture both what I see and what I feel. The softness and strength of feathers inspire me, and each piece becomes a way to preserve beauty, emotion, and a lasting legacy that can endure for generations.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in my surroundings, my emotions, and the connection between past and present experiences. Childhood memories, nature’s beauty, and meaningful moments in life awaken feelings that guide my creativity and shape each piece I create.
What would you do with $25,000?Since childhood, life has felt like an obstacle course. Now at 65, I’ve overcome many challenges, yet I continue to pursue my dreams with determination. This support would give me the opportunity to take a meaningful step forward and turn those dreams to life – seeing my art showcased on a global stage and share my story with the world.
