I’m drawn to mixed media because every medium offers a unique voice I’m not ready to give up. Exploring dark art is particularly cathartic; it allows me to acknowledge and then purge heavy emotions, leaving me free. It’s a process that requires no external reference, only what lives in my heart and mind.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in every person, place, and moment. It’s a constant reminder to stay present, and that spark of creativity is how I know I’m truly tuned in to the world around me.
What would you do with $25,000?Winning would provide the financial stability to create without constraint. It would serve as a vital safety net, allowing me to fully invest in my practice and expand my toolkit without the weight of financial anxiety.
