I used to draw in school when I was younger. Drawing pictures helped me fit in. My friends like what I draw... so let's see where it goes.

What is your favorite type of art to create?

I draw on my iPhone so I can create anywhere. They are like a sketch and I’ve painted some of them and printed a few on canvas and then embellish them with acrylics. I'm all about color.

Where do you find inspiration?

Seeing other artists’ work always inspires me. I like trying to see things the way they might have and learn from their perspective. That’s why I really love surrealism and Impressionism—I enjoy finding something new in a piece of art that I didn’t notice the first time around.

What would you do with $25,000?

Take some art classes, work on getting a studio together, so I can get my art out to the world.
